  In async data path, when vring state changes, it is necessary to
know the number of inflight packets in DMA engine. This patch
provides a thread unsafe API to return the number of inflight
packets without using any lock.

This does not align with others. Please check.

Please add 'without lock' or something similar as we already have a lock version.

According to DPDK coding style, return type and func name should be in different
lines. I notice there are also some left to clean. May clean in another patch.

You are right, add "without lock" is more accuracy.

Yes, this API applies to both enqueue and dequeue directions.

Thanks, notice the rte_vhost_async_get_inflight() API also has this problem.
Will fix both in next version.
