vhost_blk: speed up the vhost device boot

Browse Source 
When starting qemu with vhost-user-blk multiqueue(set num-queues to
more than 1), the vhost device will be started/stopped many times
(related to the queue num), as the vhost-user backend doesn't know the
exact number of queues used for this device.
The target have to stop and start the device once got a valid IO queue.

When stoping and starting the vhost device, the backend bdev io device
will be deleted and created repeatly.

If the backend bdev is a distribution system, the cost is large as the
network RTT.

In this patch, add a dummy_io_channel to hold a reference to the io
device, so that the io device will not be deleted.
