From: Longpeng <longpe...@huawei.com>

This allows the vhost device to batch the setup of all its host notifiers.
This significantly reduces the device starting time, e.g. the vhost-vDPA
generic device [1] start time reduce from 376ms to 9.1ms for a VM with
64 vCPUs and 3 vDPA device(64vq per device).
