When built with rcu checks enabled, vhost triggers
bogus warnings as vhost features are read without
dev->mutex sometimes, and private pointer is read
with our kind of rcu where work serves as a
read side critical section.
Fixing it properly is not trivial.
Disable the warnings by stubbing out the checks for now.
