Each vhost device gets a thread that is used to perform IO and management
operations. Instead of a thread that is accessing a device, the thread is
part of the device, so when it creates a thread using a helper based on
copy_process we can't dup or clone the parent's files/FDS because it
would do an extra increment on ourself.
Later, when we do:
Qemu process exits:
do_exit -> exit_files -> put_files_struct -> close_files
we would leak the device's resources because of that extra refcount
on the fd or file_struct.
This patch adds a no_files option so these worker threads can prevent
taking an extra refcount on themselves.
