Subject: [PATCH V4 3/9] virtio: introduce config op to synchronize vring callbacks

This patch introduces new virtio config op to vring
callbacks. Transport specific method is required to make sure the
write before this function is visible to the vring_interrupt() that is
called after the return of this function. For the transport that
doesn't provide synchronize_vqs(), use synchornize_rcu() which
synchronize with IRQ implicitly as a fallback.
