I just found that it's been fixed by commit a03aabf2e8d6 ("vhost: export
vid as the only interface to applications"), "accidentally".

What's that for? Interestingly, if you look at the DPDK coding style,
you will find that it's encouraged to use "dev == NULL" check instead
of the "!dev" check. I sometimes uses both though.

So, I don't think it's a big deal, and I will leave it as it is.

It's been fixed by commit 590a936287c6 ("vhost: fix null pointer
dereference").

So, sorry, I will NACK this patch.
