Please don't use idr in new code, use xarray directly

I can't understand what this messing around with major/minor numbers
does. Without allocating a cdev via cdev_add/etc there is only a
single char dev in existence here. This and the stuff in
vhost_vdpa_open() looks non-functional.

*barf* use the normal refcount pattern please

read side:

  refcount_inc_not_zero(uses)
  //stuff
  if (refcount_dec_and_test(uses))
     complete(completer)

destroy side:
  if (refcount_dec_and_test(uses))
     complete(completer)
  wait_for_completion(completer)
  // refcount now permanently == 0

Use a completion in driver code

This use after-fress vs vhost_vdpa_open prior to it setting the open
bit. Maybe use xarray, rcu and kfree_rcu ..

It is very strange, is the intention to create a single global char
dev?

If so, why is there this:

+static int vhost_vdpa_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filep)
+{
+	struct vhost_vdpa *v;
+	struct vhost_dev *dev;
+	struct vhost_virtqueue **vqs;
+	int nvqs, i, r, opened;
+
+	v = vhost_vdpa_get_from_minor(iminor(inode));

?

If the idea is to create a per-vdpa char dev then this stuff belongs
in vhost_vdpa_probe(), the cdev should be part of the vhost_vdpa, and
the above should be container_of not an idr lookup.
