This patch moves the flush of works after vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev), because we need to be sure that no workers run before to free the 'vsock' object. Since we stopped the workers using the [tx|rx|event]_run flags, we are sure no one is accessing the device while we are calling vdev->config->reset(vdev), so we can safely move the workers' flush. Before the vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev), workers can be scheduled by VQ callbacks, so we must flush them after del_vqs(), to avoid use-after-free of 'vsock' object. Suggested-by: Michael S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
