Introduce a new config knob `CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_IOCTL`,
to control the availability of the `VHOST_FORK_FROM_OWNER` ioctl.
When CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_IOCTL is set to n, the ioctl
is disabled, and any attempt to use it will result in failure.

Do we need to change the default value of the inhert_owner? For example:

#ifdef CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_IOCTL
inherit_owner = false;
#else
inherit_onwer = true;
#endif

?

Other patches look good to me.

Thanks
