vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush
[ Upstream commit c38e39c378f46f00ce922dd40a91043a9925c28d ] vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait has a confusing name: it will actually also free it's argument. Thus since commit 1280c27f8e29acf4af2da914e80ec27c3dbd5c01 "vhost-net: flush outstanding DMAs on memory change" vhost_net_flush tries to use the argument after passing it to vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait, this results in use after free. To fix, don't free the argument in vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait, add an new API for callers that want to free ubufs.
