In vhost-user-server we set all fd received from the other peer
in non-blocking mode. For some of them (e.g. memfd, shm_open, etc.)
it's not really needed, because we don't use these fd with blocking
operations, but only to map memory.

In addition, in some systems this operation can fail (e.g. in macOS
setting an fd returned by shm_open() non-blocking fails with errno
= ENOTTY).

So, let's avoid setting fd non-blocking for those messages that we
know carry memory fd (e.g. VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG,
VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE).
