vsock can start queueing work after VHOST_VSOCK_SET_GUEST_CID, so after we have called vhost_worker_create it can be calling vhost_work_queue and trying to access the vhost worker/task. If vhost_dev_alloc_iovecs fails, then vhost_worker_free could free the worker/task from under vsock. This moves vhost_worker_create to the end of vhost_dev_set_owner where we know we can no longer fail in that path. If it fails after the VHOST_SET_OWNER and userspace closes the device, then the normal vsock release handling will do the right thing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
