This series fixed a dead lock issue in vhost_vdpa. In current vhost_vdpa ioctl code path, it will lock vhost_dev mutex once, then try to re-lock it in vhost_set_backend_features, which is buggy.
These commits will remove mutex locks operations in vhost_set_backend_features, then as a compensation, a new function vhost_net_set_backend_features() in vhost_net is introduced to do proper mutex locking and call vhost_set_backend_features() Please help review. Thanks!
