[PULL 2/2] vhost: replace rcu with mutex

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

All memory accesses are done under some VQ mutex.
So lock/unlock all VQs is a faster equivalent of synchronize_rcu()
for memory access changes.
Some guests cause a lot of these changes, so it's helpful
to make them faster.
