  Change the vm2vm data path to batch enqueue for better performance.
Support latest async vhost API, refactor vhost async data path,
replace rte_atomicNN_xxx to atomic_XXX and clean some codes.

Wouldn't it be better to use GCC/Clang C11 atmoic built-ins like all
other code is being migrated to it? (i.e. __atomic_XXX)
