Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] virtio_net: fix missing lock protection on control_buf access

Refactored the handling of control_buf to be within the cvq_lock
critical section, mitigating race conditions between reading device
responses and new command submissions.

Fixes: 6f45ab3e0409 ("virtio_net: Add a lock for the command VQ.")
