[PATCH 3/4] vsock/virtio: fix flush of works during the .remove()

[Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We flush all pending works before to call vdev->config->reset(vdev),
but other works can be queued before the vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev),
so we add another flush after it, to avoid use after free.
