> the vhost-vdpa character device is still running, vhost_vdpa_remove()
> function will block indefinitely in call to wait_for_completion().

> message to alert the user/administrator about this hang situation.

> To eventually fix this problem, a mechanism will be required to let
> vhost-vdpa module inform the userspace of this situation and
> userspace will close the descriptor of vhost-vdpa char device.
> This will enable vhost-vdpa to continue with graceful clean-up.
