Currently vhost_net_release() uses synchronize_rcu() to synchronize
freeing with vhost_zerocopy_callback(). However synchronize_rcu()
is quite costly operation. It take more than 10 seconds
to shutdown qemu launched with couple net devices like this:
-netdev tap,id=tap0,..,vhost=on,queues=80
because we end up calling synchronize_rcu() netdev_count*queues times.
Free vhost net structures in rcu callback instead of using
synchronize_rcu() to fix the problem.
