Subject: [PATCH] vhost: locking/rcu cleanup

I saw WARN_ON(!list_empty(&dev->work_list)) trigger
so our custom flush is not as airtight as need be.

This patch switches to a simple atomic counter + srcu instead of
the custom locked queue + flush implementation.

This will slow down the setup ioctls, which should not matter -
it's slow path anyway. We use the expedited flush to at least
make sure it has a sane time bound.

Works fine for me. I got reports that with many guests,
work lock is highly contended, and this patch should in theory
fix this as well - but I haven't tested this yet.
