The device IOTLB is shared by vhost backends, but clearing it requires dropping each virtqueue's IOTLB pointer and metadata cache before the old table is freed. Add a common helper for this teardown sequence so backend-specific feature code only needs to decide when the table must be cleared. The caller must hold the device mutex. The helper does not update acked_features; backends continue to update that state in their own virtqueue loops.
