Allocation failures of shadow used ring and batched copy array
are not recoverable and leads to the segmentation faults like
this on the receiving/transmission path:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7f913fecf0 (LWP 43625)]
in copy_desc_to_mbuf () at /lib/librte_vhost/virtio_net.c:760
760 batch_copy[vq->batch_copy_nb_elems].dst =
This could be easily reproduced in case of low memory or big
number of vhost-user ports. Fix that by propagating error to
the upper layer which will end up with disconnection.
