vhost: replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthread

Replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthread.  Other than callback
argument change from struct work_struct * to struct vhost_work *,
there's no visible change to vhost_poll_*() interface.

This conversion is to make each vhost use a dedicated kthread so that
resource control via cgroup can be applied.

Partially based on Sridhar Samudrala's patch.

* Updated to use sub structure vhost_work instead of directly using
  vhost_poll at Michael's suggestion.

* Added flusher wake_up() optimization at Michael's suggestion.

Changes by MST:
* Converted atomics/barrier use to a spinlock.
* Create thread on SET_OWNER
* Fix flushing
