vhost: Fix crash during early vhost_transport_send_pkt calls
If userspace does VHOST_VSOCK_SET_GUEST_CID before VHOST_SET_OWNER we can race where: 1. thread0 calls vhost_transport_send_pkt -> vhost_work_queue 2. thread1 does VHOST_SET_OWNER which calls vhost_worker_create. 3. vhost_worker_create will set the dev->worker pointer before setting the worker->vtsk pointer. 4. thread0's vhost_work_queue will see the dev->worker pointer is set and try to call vhost_task_wake using not yet set worker->vtsk pointer. 5. We then crash since vtsk is NULL. Before commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"), we only had the worker pointer so we could just check it to see if VHOST_SET_OWNER has been done. After that commit we have the vhost_worker and vhost_task pointer, so we can now hit the bug above. This patch embeds the vhost_worker in the vhost_dev and moves the work list initialization back to vhost_dev_init, so we can just check the worker.vtsk pointer to check if VHOST_SET_OWNER has been done like before.
