vhost/net: complete zerocopy ubufs only once

vhost-net initializes one ubuf_info per outstanding zerocopy TX
descriptor and hands it to the backend socket.  The networking stack may
then clone a zerocopy skb before all skb references are released.  For
example, batman-adv fragmentation reaches skb_split(), which calls
skb_zerocopy_clone() and increments the same ubuf_info refcount.

vhost_zerocopy_complete() currently treats every ubuf callback as a
completed vhost descriptor.  It dereferences ubuf->ctx, writes the
descriptor completion state, and drops the vhost_net_ubuf_ref even when
the callback only releases a cloned skb reference.  A backend reset can
therefore wait for and free the vhost_net_ubuf_ref while another cloned
skb still carries the same ubuf_info.  A later completion then
dereferences the freed ubufs pointer.

KASAN reports the stale completion as:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vhost_zerocopy_complete+0x1d7/0x1f0
  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vhost_zerocopy_complete+0x101/0x1f0
  vhost_zerocopy_complete
  skb_copy_ubufs
  __dev_forward_skb2
  veth_xmit

The freed object was allocated from vhost_net_ioctl() while setting the
backend and freed through kfree_rcu()/kvfree_rcu_bulk after backend
removal, while delayed skb completion still reached
vhost_zerocopy_complete().

Honor the generic ubuf_info refcount before touching vhost state, and run
the vhost descriptor completion only for the final ubuf reference.  This
matches the msg_zerocopy_complete() ownership rule for cloned zerocopy
skbs.
