IOTLB entries contain the host virtual address of the guest pages. When receiving a new VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE request, the previous regions get unmapped, so the IOTLB entries, if any, will be invalid. It does cause the vhost-user process to segfault.This patch introduces a new function to flush the IOTLB cache, and call it as soon as the backend handles a VHOST_USER_SET_MEM request.
