vhost-scsi: do not validate vrings during endpoint teardown

This commit removes the vhost_vq_access_ok() check from
vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint() so that endpoint teardown always disables the
virtqueue backends and waits for in-flight SCSI commands before state is
freed.

[Severity: High]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but should the paired
vhost_scsi_set_endpoint() path check the return value of
vhost_vq_init_access() [1]?

drivers/vhost/scsi.c:vhost_scsi_set_endpoint() {
    ...
		for (i = 0; i < vs->dev.nvqs; i++) {
			vq = &vs->vqs[i].vq;
			if (i >= VHOST_SCSI_VQ_IO && !vs->vqs[i].scsi_cmds)
				continue;

			mutex_lock(&vq->mutex);
			vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg);
			vhost_vq_init_access(vq);
			mutex_unlock(&vq->mutex);
		}
    ...
}

If userspace invokes VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT before configuring the vring
addresses, vhost_vq_init_access() fails for the control and event
virtqueues while their backends remain set to vs_tpg, leaving
last_used_idx uninitialized and breaking event delivery and control
command handling.
