vhost: Fix crash during early vhost_transport_send_pkt calls

If userspace does VHOST_VSOCK_SET_GUEST_CID before VHOST_SET_OWNER we
can race where:
1. thread0 calls vhost_transport_send_pkt -> vhost_work_queue
2. thread1 does VHOST_SET_OWNER which calls vhost_worker_create.
3. vhost_worker_create will set the dev->worker pointer before setting
the worker->vtsk pointer.
4. thread0's vhost_work_queue will see the dev->worker pointer is
set and try to call vhost_task_wake using not yet set worker->vtsk
pointer.
5. We then crash since vtsk is NULL.

Before commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker
threads"), we only had the worker pointer so we could just check it to
see if VHOST_SET_OWNER has been done. After that commit we have the
vhost_worker and vhost_task pointer, so we can now hit the bug above.

This patch embeds the vhost_worker in the vhost_dev and moves the work
list initialization back to vhost_dev_init, so we can just check the
worker.vtsk pointer to check if VHOST_SET_OWNER has been done like
before.

Fixes: 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads")
