We have discussed the allocation of log buffer at:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/b058d4c6-f8cf-456b-aa60-8a8ccedb277e@xxxxxxxxxx/

This patchset allocate and free log buffer during
VHOST_SET_FEATURES/VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT.

Unfortunately, QEMU's VHOST_SET_FEATURES handler may crash QEMU if there is
error from VHOST_SET_FEATURES (i.e. -ENOMEM).
