Public bug reported:

crashing / killing ovs-vswitchd doesn't clean up vhost_user sockets

If a crash occurs the subsequent automated restart of openvswitch by its
monitor runs into collisions with the existing sockets.

Messages are like:
Apr 07 11:36:43 horsea ovs-vswitchd[21481]: VHOST_CONFIG: socket created, fd:346
Apr 07 11:36:43 horsea ovs-vswitchd[21481]: VHOST_CONFIG: fail to bind fd:346, 
remove file:/var/run/openvswitch/vhost-user-979 and try again.

Note: this was discussed on the mailing list a while ago, we need to
check if/what the supposed handling should be.

The DPDK code gets a path to the socket from openvswitch - it is
debatable if ovs or dpdk should remove that file if a collision occurs.
