Subject: [PATCH v4] vdpa: mlx5: fix vdpa/vhost dependencies

drivers/vdpa/mlx5/ uses vhost_iotlb*() interfaces, so select
VHOST_IOTLB to make them be built.

However, if VHOST_IOTLB is the only VHOST symbol that is
set/enabled, the object file still won't be built because
drivers/Makefile won't descend into drivers/vhost/ to build it,
so make drivers/Makefile build the needed binary whenever
VHOST_IOTLB is set, like it does for VHOST_RING.

Fixes these build errors:
ERROR: modpost: "vhost_iotlb_itree_next" [drivers/vdpa/mlx5/mlx5_vdpa.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "vhost_iotlb_itree_first" [drivers/vdpa/mlx5/mlx5_vdpa.ko] undefined!

Fixes: 29064bfdabd5 ("vdpa/mlx5: Add support library for mlx5 VDPA implementation")
Fixes: aff90770e54c ("vdpa/mlx5: Fix dependency on MLX5_CORE")
