Agreed.

In this case, if you look at the delete line, you will find we have such
function implemented both in vhost-user and vhost-cuse. Now we get one
only. So, we may could just rename it to vhost_user_cleanup(). Or even,
remove it completely by doing some small refactors.

It's obvious that we need do that in another patch. Thus, the TODO is
been added.
