We flush under vq mutex when changing backends.
This creates a deadlock as workqueue being flushed
needs this lock as well.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612421
Drop the vq mutex before flush: we have the device mutex
which is sufficient to prevent another ioctl from touching
the vq.

Dave, just to clarify, I'll send pull request to merge it through my tree,
there's no need for you to bother with this.

Why do we need to flush the vq when trying to set the backend and
we find that it is already set. Is this just an optimization?
Thanks
