Another more interesting question, I believe we will do singleton for
virtio_vsock structure. Then what's the point of using vdev->priv to access
the_virtio_vsock? It looks to me we can it brings extra troubles for doing
synchronization.
I thought about it when I tried to use RCU to stop the worker and I
think make sense. Maybe can be another series after this will be merged.

@Stefan, what do you think about that?
Yes, let's make it a singleton and keep no other references to it.
