VHOST_VSOCK_SET_RUNNING is used by the vhost vsock driver to perform crucial VirtQueue initialisation, like assigning .private fields and calling vhost_vq_init_access(), and clean up. However, this ioctl is actually extremely useful for any vhost driver, that doesn't have a side channel to inform it of a status change, e.g. upon a guest reboot. This patch makes that ioctl generic, while preserving its numeric value and also keeping the original alias.
