vhost_scsi: add support for worker ioctls

Browse source 
This has vhost-scsi support the worker ioctls by calling the
vhost_worker_ioctl helper.

With a single worker, the single thread becomes a bottlneck when trying
to use 3 or more virtqueues like:

fio --filename=/dev/sdb  --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128  --numjobs=3

With the patches and doing a worker per vq, we can scale to at least
16 vCPUs/vqs (that's my system limit) with the same command fio command
above with numjobs=16:

fio --filename=/dev/sdb  --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64  --numjobs=16

which gives around 2002K IOPs.

Note that for testing I dropped depth to 64 above because the vhost/virt
layer supports only 1024 total commands per device. And the only tuning I
did was set LIO's emulate_pr to 0 to avoid LIO's PR lock in the main IO
path which becomes an issue at around 12 jobs/virtqueues.
