Avoid reading device configuration during feature negotiation. Read
device status and verify that VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_FEATURES_OK is set.

Otherwise, return -EAGAIN.

Atomicity and data consistency not guaranteed against vdpa_get_config and
get_features in vdpa_dev_net_config_fill(). Need to use coarse locking.
Your concern is that vdpa_get_config() is vdpa_dev_net_config_fill
() is not being read under the lock?
Not exactly. vdpa_get_config() is already in the cf_mutex lock. However, the config data may become invalid getting out of the FEATURES_OK check, as theoretically it's possible the guest could change the config via set_config(), set_status(), or reset() in between. You'd need to use a single cf_mutex to protect almost the whole code block in vdpa_dev_config_fill() to ensure data consistency.

I will put it under the lock.
