Add back the previously removed vhost_worker function to support the kthread
and rename it vhost_run_work_kthread_list.

The old function vhost_worker was change to support task in
commit 6e890c5d5021 ('vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads')
change to xarray in
commit 1cdaafa1b8b ('vhost: replace single worker pointer with xarray')
