From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

vhost_kernel_reset_device() invokes RESET_OWNER, which disassociates the
owner process from the device. The device is left non-operational since
SET_OWNER is only called once during startup in vhost_dev_init().

vhost_kernel_reset_device() is never called so this latent bug never
appears. Get rid of vhost_kernel_reset_device() for now. If someone
needs it in the future they'll need to implement it correctly.
