vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick() already holds the mutex during its call

This issue is similar to [1] that should be already fixed upstream by [2].

However I think this patch would have prevented some issues, because vhost_vq_reset() sets vq->private to NULL, preventing the worker from running.

Anyway I think that when we enter in vhost_dev_cleanup() the worker should be already stopped, so it shouldn't be necessary to take the mutex. But in order to prevent future issues maybe it's better to take them, so:
