Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix default for vhost_iotlb

During randconfig build testing, I ran into a configuration that has
CONFIG_VHOST=m, CONFIG_VHOST_IOTLB=m and CONFIG_VHOST_RING=y, which
makes the iotlb implementation left out from vhost_ring, and in turn
leads to a link failure of the vdpa_sim module:

ERROR: modpost: "vringh_set_iotlb" [drivers/vdpa/vdpa_sim/vdpa_sim.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "vringh_init_iotlb" [drivers/vdpa/vdpa_sim/vdpa_sim.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "vringh_iov_push_iotlb" [drivers/vdpa/vdpa_sim/vdpa_sim.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "vringh_iov_pull_iotlb" [drivers/vdpa/vdpa_sim/vdpa_sim.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "vringh_complete_iotlb" [drivers/vdpa/vdpa_sim/vdpa_sim.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "vringh_getdesc_iotlb" [drivers/vdpa/vdpa_sim/vdpa_sim.ko] undefined!

Work around it by setting the default for VHOST_IOTLB to avoid this
configuration.

I fixed this a while ago locally but never got around to sending the
fix. If the problem has been addressed differently in the meantime,
please ignore this one.
