Subject: [PATCH] vhost: error handling fix

vhost should set worker to NULL on cgroups attach failure,
so that we won't try to destroy the worker again on close.

Dave, no need to bother with this one unless you really want to -
I'll put it on my tree.

This is a follow up to Eric's patch - fixes error handling in a similar way.
