Add a new UAPI to enable setting the vhost device to task mode.
The userspace application can use VHOST_SET_INHERIT_FROM_OWNER
to configure the mode if necessary.
This setting must be applied before VHOST_SET_OWNER, as the worker
will be created in the VHOST_SET_OWNER function

Is there any case that we need to switch from owner back to kthread?
If not I would choose a more simplified API that is just
VHOST_INHERIT_OWNER.

I don't know if something is missing in this patch, but I am confused:

`r` is set few lines below...

>+	bool inherit_owner;

...

	/* You must be the owner to do anything else */
	r = vhost_dev_check_owner(d);
	if (r)
		goto done;

So, why we are now initializing it to 0?

And here, how this check can be false, if at the beginning of the
function we call vhost_dev_check_owner()?

Maybe your intention was to add this code before the
`vhost_dev_check_owner()` call, so this should explain why initialize
`r` to 0, but I'm not sure.

Should we return an error (e.g. -EPERM) in this case?

Please add a documentation here, this is UAPI, so the user should
know what this ioctl does based on the parameter.

Thanks,
Stefano
