The reason is that kvm_put_kvm is causing the destruction of the VM, but
the page fault is still on the ->queue list.  The ->queue list is owned
by the VCPU, not by the work items, so we cannot just add list_del to
the work item.

Instead, use work->vcpu to note async page faults that have been resolved
and will be processed through the done list.  There is no need to flush
those.
