[PATCH 5/6] vhost_net: remove NOP vhost_net_flush() in vhost_net_release()

From: Andrey Ryabinin <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-15 15:33:21
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, virtio host (vhost) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

The second vhost_net_flush() call in vhost_net_release() doesn't do
anything. vhost_dev_cleanup() stops dev->worker and NULLifies it.
vhost_net_reset_vq(n) NULLifies n->vqs[i].ubufs

So vhost_net_flush() after vhost_dev_cleanup()&vhost_net_reset_vq() doesn't
do anything, it simply doesn't pass NULL checks.

Hence remove it for simplicity.
