If the work is already queued, doesn't it break the linked list
because of the memset in kthread_init_work?

Do we need to protect the case where vdpasim_kick_vq and
vdpasim_suspend are called "at the same time"? Correct userland should
not be doing it but buggy or mailious could be. Just calling
vdpasim_flush_work with the mutex acquired would solve the issue,
doesn't it?

Thanks!
