[Test Setup]
Steps to reproduce
List the steps to reproduce the issue.

1.Bind 1 port to vfio-pci driver:

dpdk-devbind.py --force --bind=vfio-pci 0000:4b:00.0

2.Start dpdk-testpmd as the following command:

x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 5-7 -n 8 -a 0000:4b:00.0
--file-prefix=vhost --vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=vhost-net,queues=1' 
--force-max-simd-bitwidth=512   -- -i --nb-cores=2 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
