Subject: [PATCH 18/18] virtiofs: Remove TODO item from virtio_fs_free_devs()

virtio_fs_free_devs() is now called from ->kill_sb(). By this time
all device queues have been quiesced. I am assuming that while
->kill_sb() is in progress, another mount instance will wait for
it to finish (sb->s_umount mutex provides mutual exclusion).

W.r.t ->remove path, we should be fine as we are not touching vdev
or virtqueues. And we have reference on virtio_fs object, so we know
rest of the data structures are valid.

So I can't see the need of any additional locking yet.
