Subject: [PATCH] vhost: rcu annotation fixup

When built with rcu checks enabled, vhost triggers
bogus warnings as vhost features are read without
dev->mutex sometimes.
Fixing it properly is not trivial as vhost.h does not
know which lockdep classes it will be used under.
Disable the warning by stubbing out the check for now.
