tcm_vhost: Multi-queue support

This adds virtio-scsi multi-queue support to tcm_vhost. In order to use
multi-queue, guest side multi-queue support is need. It can
be found here:

   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/18/166

Currently, only one thread is created by vhost core code for each
vhost_scsi instance. Even if there are multi-queues, all the handling of
guest kick (vhost_scsi_handle_kick) are processed in one thread. This is
not optimal. Luckily, most of the work is offloaded to the tcm_vhost
workqueue.

Some initial perf numbers:
1 queue,  4 targets, 1 lun per target
4K request size, 50% randread + 50% randwrite: 127K/127k IOPS

4 queues, 4 targets, 1 lun per target
4K request size, 50% randread + 50% randwrite: 181K/181k IOPS
