I don't know how LIO does all the callbacks, honestly (I have only ever
worked on the virtio-scsi driver, not vhost-scsi, and I have only ever
reviewed some virtio-scsi spec bits of vhost-scsi).

The vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work parts look fine, but I have no idea why
vhost_scsi_queue_data_in and vhost_scsi_queue_status call.
