The vhost_scsi VHOST_NEW_WORKER requires the inherit_owner
setting to be true. So we need to implement a check for this.

The above comment is not really needed since we know it's
required from the check being added.

If you want to add a comment, I think it should describe why we
require it as that's not obvious from just looking at the check.

So maybe a more useful comment would be:

/*
 * vhost_tasks will account for worker threads under the parent's
 * NPROC value but kthreads do not. To avoid userspace overflowing
 * the system with worker threads inherit_owner must be true.
 */
+		if (vs->dev.inherit_owner != true)
This check and the comment would apply to all vhost drivers so it
should go in vhost_worker_ioctl's VHOST_NEW_WORKER handling.
