Subject: [PATCH] vhost: support upto 509 memory regions

since commit
 1d4e7e3 kvm: x86: increase user memory slots to 509

it became possible to use a bigger amount of memory
slots, which is used by memory hotplug for
registering hotplugged memory.
However QEMU aborts if it's used with more than ~60
pc-dimm devices and vhost-net since host kernel
in module vhost-net refuses to accept more than 65
memory regions.

Increasing VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS from 65 to 509
to match KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS fixes issue for vhost-net.
