Stefano Garzarella e226121fcc vsock/virtio: fix flush of works during the .remove()
This patch moves the flush of works after vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev),
because we need to be sure that no workers run before to free the
'vsock' object.

Since we stopped the workers using the [tx|rx|event]_run flags,
we are sure no one is accessing the device while we are calling
vdev->config->reset(vdev), so we can safely move the workers' flush.

Before the vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev), workers can be scheduled
by VQ callbacks, so we must flush them after del_vqs(), to avoid
use-after-free of 'vsock' object.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
