vhost: fix IOTLB locking
Commit 78139c94 ("net: vhost: lock the vqs one by one") moved the vq lock to improve scalability, but introduced a possible deadlock in vhost-iotlb. vhost_iotlb_notify_vq() now takes vq->mutex while holding the device's IOTLB spinlock. And on the vhost_iotlb_miss() path, the spinlock is taken while holding vq->mutex. Since calling vhost_poll_queue() doesn't require any lock, avoid the deadlock by not taking vq->mutex.
