Why exactly? It's not like flush needs to be extra fast ...

I'm not worried about how fast a flush is processed either. But I think this patch is a nice cleanup of the vhost_worker() function. It eliminates the uninitialized_var() construct and moves the assignment of "done_seq" below the read of "queue_seq".
