[PATCH V2] vhost: do not enable VHOST_MENU by default

We try to keep the defconfig untouched after decoupling CONFIG_VHOST
out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION in commit 20c384f1ea1a
("vhost: refine vhost and vringh kconfig") by enabling VHOST_MENU by
default. Then the defconfigs can keep enabling CONFIG_VHOST_NET
without the caring of CONFIG_VHOST.

But this will leave a "CONFIG_VHOST_MENU=y" in all defconfigs and even
for the ones that doesn't want vhost. So it actually shifts the
burdens to the maintainers of all other to add "CONFIG_VHOST_MENU is
not set". So this patch tries to enable CONFIG_VHOST explicitly in
defconfigs that enables CONFIG_VHOST_NET and CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK.

I rebased this on top of OABI fix since that
seems more orgent to fix.
Pushed to my vhost branch pls take a look and
if possible test.
Thanks!

I test this patch by generating the defconfigs that wants vhost_net or 
vhost_vsock. All looks fine.

But having CONFIG_VHOST_DPN=y may end up with the similar situation that 
this patch want to address.

Maybe we can let CONFIG_VHOST depends on !ARM || AEABI then add another 
menuconfig for VHOST_RING and do something similar?

Thanks
