Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] vfio: Introduce interface to flush virqfd inject workqueue

In order to synchronize changes that can affect the thread callback,
introduce an interface to force a flush of the inject workqueue.  The
irqfd pointer is only valid under spinlock, but the workqueue cannot
be flushed under spinlock.  Therefore the flush work for the irqfd is
queued under spinlock.  The vfio_irqfd_cleanup_wq workqueue is re-used
for queuing this work such that flushing the workqueue is also ordered
relative to shutdown.
