This patch moves the flush of works after vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev), because we need to be sure that no workers run before to free the 'vsock' object. Since we stopped the workers using the [tx|rx|event]_run flags, we are sure no one is accessing the device while we are calling vdev->config->reset(vdev), so we can safely move the workers' flush. Before the vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev), workers can be scheduled by VQ callbacks, so we must flush them after del_vqs(), to avoid use-after-free of 'vsock' object. Suggested-by: Michael S.
