Mike Christie 8f174c5db1 vhost-scsi: Handle vhost_vq_work_queue failures for events

[ Upstream commit b1b2ce58ed23c5d56e0ab299a5271ac01f95b75c ]

Currently, we can try to queue an event's work before the vhost_task is
created. When this happens we just drop it in vhost_scsi_do_plug before
even calling vhost_vq_work_queue. During a device shutdown we do the
same thing after vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint has cleared the backends.

In the next patches we will be able to kill the vhost_task before we
have cleared the endpoint. In that case, vhost_vq_work_queue can fail
and we will leak the event's memory. This has handle the failure by
just freeing the event. This is safe to do, because
vhost_vq_work_queue will only return failure for us when the vhost_task
is killed and so userspace will not be able to handle events if we
sent them.
