It may fix your issue, but it's not a proper fix. As we actually closed
callfd at cleanup_vq().

BTW, the name, cleanup_vq/device, is not well taken. For a name like
cleanup, those functions should be invoked at device remove stage (say,
shutting down a VM), but not at reset stage (which is actually treated
as STOP in current QEMU implementation).

I have a plan to correct it, but I guess it's not the right time as
v2.2 is coming soon. However, for a fix, it could be simple: how about
adding another arg to cleanup_vq:

	cleanup_vq(struct vhost_virtqueue *vq, int destory)

And we only close callfd when destroy flag is set. (And of course, this
patch is needed).

What do you think of that?
