When the vhost-user is reconnecting to the backend, and if the vhost-user fails
at the get_features in vhost_dev_init(), then the reconnect will fail
and it will not be retriggered forever.
The reason is:
When the vhost-user fails at get_features, the vhost_dev_cleanup will be called
immediately.
vhost_dev_cleanup calls 'memset(hdev, 0, sizeof(struct vhost_dev))'.
The reconnect path is:
vhost_user_blk_event
vhost_user_async_close(.. vhost_user_blk_disconnect ..)
qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers <----- clear the notifier callback
schedule vhost_user_async_close_bh
The vhost->vdev is null, so the vhost_user_blk_disconnect will not be
called, then the event fd callback will not be reinstalled.
All vhost-user devices have this issue, including vhost-user-blk/scsi.
With this patch, if the vdev->vdev is null, the fd callback will still
be reinstalled.
