Qemu crashes on shutdown if the chardev used by vhost-user-blk has been finalized before the vhost-user-blk.
This happens with char-socket chardev operating in the listening mode (server). The char-socket chardev emits "close" event at the end of finalizing when its internal data is destroyed. This calls vhost-user-blk event handler which in turn tries to manipulate with destroyed chardev by setting an empty event handler for vhost-user-blk cleanup postponing. This patch separates the shutdown case from the cleanup postponing removing the need to set an event handler.
