The second vhost_net_flush() call in vhost_net_release() doesn't do anything. vhost_dev_cleanup() stops dev->worker and NULLifies it. vhost_net_reset_vq(n) NULLifies n->vqs[i].ubufs So vhost_net_flush() after vhost_dev_cleanup()&vhost_net_reset_vq() doesn't do anything, it simply doesn't pass NULL checks. Hence remove it for simplicity.
