virtiofs: Do not end request in submission context
Submission context can hold some locks which end request code tries to hold
again and deadlock can occur. For example, fc->bg_lock. If a background
request is being submitted, it might hold fc->bg_lock and if we could not
submit request (because device went away) and tried to end request, then
deadlock happens. During testing, I also got a warning from deadlock
detection code.
So put requests on a list and end requests from a worker thread.
I got following warning from deadlock detector.
