Now that multiple worker threads can be run from the backend crate, it
is important that each backend implementation can access every worker
thread.

By changing the mutability of this function, after adapting all
backends, we should be able to implement multithreads with
multiqueues support without hitting a bottleneck on the backend
locking.

Both blk, net and fs backends have been updated to avoid the requirement
of having handle_event(&mut self). This will allow the backend crate to
avoid taking a write lock onto the backend object, which will remove the
potential contention point when multiple threads will be handling
multiqueues.

Implement the exit_event() method on the VhostUserBackend trait. It is
necessary to specify a custom exit event id in this case as the loop is
also used for handling activity on the tap file descriptors.

backend into its own crate and port the binary to use it.
