Subject: [PATCH 1/3] vhost: prevent modification of an active ring

We don't support changing ring size or log base while ring is running.
If user violates these rules, he might get his memory silently
corrupted.  It's better to be explicit, and fail such modification
attempts with an error.
To make these "vq running" checks in ioctl context robust, this patch
also moves all vq flushes to under device mutex.
