vrrp: fix thread synchronization issue

Type: fix
Fixes: 39e9428b90bc

When a VRRP advertisement is received by a worker thread, the worker
calls vl_api_rpc_call_main_thread() so the main thread will process the
packet and make adjustments to VR state if necessary.

The data being passed to the main thread included a pointer to the VRRP
header in the received packet buffer. Since the main thread processes
the RPC request asynchronously from the worker thread, it's possible for
the worker to drop the packet and for the buffer to be overwritten before
the main thread can process it.

Copy the fields which may be needed by the main thread into a struct
instead of passing a pointer to a packet buffer.
