vhost: Fix VPP crash when reloading VM with mixed-type ports [VPP-1406]

When VM is having mixed type of vhost-user and SRIOV ports, QEMU (RedHat
v2.10) will not send disconnect signal to VPP, and just gives the new
memory region directly. VPP is not able to handle new memory region
mapping without disconnect signal first, which will result in a SEGV.
The fix will handle the VM reboot scenario without explict disconnect
signal from QEMU.

The fix is to invalidate the avail, desc, and used pointers in the txvq
when the new memory regions are received. This is because these pointers
are not valid anymore with the new memory regions. In the input node, check
to make sure the avail pointer is valid and punt if not.
