  In function virtio_tx_local(), when the device receiving the packet
is the same as the device to which the packet is forwarded,
or the device is removed, we return but not free the packet,
it will cause a memory leak.

Fixes: 4796ad63ba1f ("examples/vhost: import userspace vhost application")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

v2:
- Delete '.' in the title.

The version description should be after signed-off-by tag like:

v2:XXX

examples/vhost/main.c | 2 ++

Please fix this to save Maxime's effort when applying.
And you missed the Acked-by/Reviewed-by tag of Jiayu/Cheng/Mine.

Thanks,
Chenbo
