We don't need the device mutex in vhost_scsi_do_plug because: 1. we have the vhost_scsi_mutex so the tpg->vhost_scsi pointer will not change on us and the vhost_scsi can't be freed from under us if it was set. 2. vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint will stop the virtqueues and flush them while holding the vhost_scsi_mutex so we know once vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint has completed that vhost_scsi_do_plug can't send new events and any queued ones have completed. So this patch drops the device mutex use in vhost_scsi_do_plug.
