Hi Tetsuya:
I don't understand why we move it to the end of the function.
If we don't tell the application to remove the virtio device from the
data plane, then the vhost application is still operating on that
device, we shouldn't do anything to the virtio_net device.
For this case, as vhost doesn't use kickfd, it will not cause issue, but
i think it is best practice firstly to remove it from data plan through
destroy_device.

I think we could call destroy_device the first time we receive this
message. Currently we don't have per queue granularity control to only
remove one queue from data plane.

I am Okay to only close the kickfd for the specified queue index.

Btw, do you meet issue with previous implementation?
