vlib: linux: fix wrong iommu_group value issue when using dpdk-plugin
When VPP work with dpdk-plugin, linux_vfio_main_t->container_fd is always -1
since it never have chance to run open("/dev/vfio/vfio") to get the fd.
But this lead to a potential issue of VPP, that is, when start VPP without
uio-driver field setup in /etc/vpp/startup.conf, VPP will run to automatical
select uio driver in vlib_pci_bind_to_uio() and the function depend on
iommu_group value to decide to work on vfio or vfio-noiommu mode.
Since in vlib_pci_get_device_info() have the condition container_fd != -1,
so the iommu_group value will be always -1 at this scenario, this caused
that VPP mistake to run with vfio-noiommu driver on intel_iommu=on state.
Actually in order to get iommu_group and iommu_group/name value, no need to
depend on linux_vfio_main_t->container_fd value, so the fix remove the
condition lvm->container_fd != -1, then it can get the correct iommu_group
value.
Type: fix

The VPP platform is an extensible framework that provides out-of-the-box production quality switch/router functionality. It is the open source version of Cisco's Vector Packet Processing (VPP) technology: a high performance, packet-processing stack that can run on commodity CPUs.
The benefits of this implementation of VPP are its high performance, proven technology, its modularity and flexibility, and rich feature set.
For more information on VPP and its features please visit the FD.io website and What is VPP? pages.
Details of the changes leading up to this version of VPP can be found under @ref release_notes.

In general anyone interested in building, developing or running VPP should consult the VPP wiki for more complete documentation.
In particular, readers are recommended to take a look at [Pulling, Building, Running, Hacking, Pushing](https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Pulling,_Building,_Run ning,_Hacking_and_Pushing_VPP_Code) which provides extensive step-by-step coverage of the topic.
For the impatient, some salient information is distilled below.
To install system dependencies, build VPP and then install it, simply run the build script. This should be performed a non-privileged user with sudo access from the project base directory:
./extras/vagrant/build.sh
If you want a more fine-grained approach because you intend to do some development work, the Makefile in the root directory of the source tree provides several convenience shortcuts as make targets that may be of interest. To see the available targets run:
make
The directory extras/vagrant contains a VagrantFile and supporting scripts to bootstrap a working VPP inside a Vagrant-managed Virtual Machine. This VM can then be used to test concepts with VPP or as a development platform to extend VPP. Some obvious caveats apply when using a VM for VPP since its performance will never match that of bare metal; if your work is timing or performance sensitive, consider using bare metal in addition or instead of the VM.
For this to work you will need a working installation of Vagrant. Instructions for this can be found [on the Setting up Vagrant wiki page] (https://wiki.fd.io/view/DEV/Setting_Up_Vagrant).
Several modules provide documentation, see @subpage user_doc for more end-user-oriented information. Also see @subpage dev_doc for developer notes.
Visit the VPP wiki for details on more advanced building strategies and other development notes.
There is PyDoc generated documentation available for the VPP test framework. See @ref test_framework_doc for details.
