When VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM changes, cached vring pointers and IOTLB
metadata are interpreted in a different address space. Keeping them
across the transition can leave stale ring mappings in use.

Clearing d->iotlb before taking the VQ locks also lets a worker observe
a transient NULL d->iotlb and fall back to d->umem while translating a
descriptor.

Add a common vhost_clear_device_iotlb() helper for vhost-net and
vhost-vsock. Take all VQ mutexes in index order before dropping the
device-wide IOTLB, invalidate each VQ's cached ring access and metadata,
clear pending IOTLB messages, and free the old table after the handoff.
This serializes the transition with workers and prevents mixed address
space mappings.

On the first direct-to-IOTLB transition, invalidate the cached vring
addresses. When an existing device IOTLB is replaced, preserve the
GIOVA ring addresses and reset only the metadata cache. After clearing
ACCESS_PLATFORM, userspace must configure the vring addresses for the
new address mode.

vhost_vq_invalidate_access() clears desc, avail, and used together.
Treat the VQ as invalidated only when all three are NULL, since a single
GIOVA address may legitimately be zero.

Fixes: 6b1e6cc7855b ("vhost: new device IOTLB API")
Fixes: e13a6915a03f ("vhost/vsock: add IOTLB API support")

Changes since v8:
- Lock all VQs in the existing index order during device IOTLB teardown,
  before clearing d->iotlb, to serialize the transition with workers.
