I'm going to self Nack these patches. This patch has a bug where we can
leak vhost_scsi_tmf structs. It's ok to drop the vhost_scsi_mutex use but
in vhost_scsi_port_unlink it needs to be replaced with the device->mutex
or we need to flush the tmf/VHOST_SCSI_VQ_CTL queue to make sure outstanding
tmfs are freed.
