There is no protection against issuing concurrent flush operations.  If
we later would like to make the flush a ioctl (for example for migration
purposes), it would be confusing, and I'm not sure how you could extend
the during_flush machinery.

What about making vhost_scsi_flush() wait for all pending requests,
including those issues during the flush operation?  Then you can easily
support concurrent flushes; just add a waitqueue and wake_up_all at the
end of the flush operation.

BTW, adding such a ioctl as part of this patch would probably be a good
thing to do anyway.
