We currenly hold the vhost_scsi_mutex while clearing the endpoint and while performing vhost_scsi_do_plug, so tpg->vhost_scsi can't be freed from uder us, and to make sure anything queued is handled by the full call in vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint. This patch removes the need for the vhost_scsi_mutex for the latter case. In the next patches, we won't hold the vhost_scsi_mutex while flushing so this patch adds a check for the clearing of the virtqueue from vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint. We then know that once vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint has cleared the backend that no new events will be queued, and the flush after the vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, NULL) call will see everything that's been queued to that point. So the flush will then handle all events without the need for the vhost_scsi_mutex.

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.
