virtio_mem_set_fake_offline() might sleep now, and we call it under
rcu_read_lock(). To fix it, simply move the rcu_read_unlock() further
up, as we're done with the device.

The problematic commit is in v5.14-rc1 .. v5.14-rc7, but it suspect
might be too late for v5.14.

The original commit went upstream via Andrews tree, we could take this fix
via Andrews tree as well or via the vhost tree (MST), I don't particularly
care. (putting Linus on CC just in case)
