[PATCH] vhost: fix null pointer dereference

[Jiayu Hu]

NULL check for vq->async must be protected by lock. Otherwise, it is
possible that the data plane thread dereferences vq->async with NULL
value, since the control plane thread is freeing vq->async.

Fixes: ee8024b3d4ad (vhost: move async data in dedicated structure)
