vhost_zerocopy_callback accesses VQ right after
it drops the last ubuf reference.
In theory, this could race with device removal
which waits on the ubuf kref, and crash
on use after free.
Do all accesses within rcu read side critical
section, and all synchronize on release.
Since callbacks are always invoked from bh,
synchronize_rcu_bh seems enough and will help
release complete a bit faster.
