    kernel - Fix vkernel race in host
    
    * Obtaining a cache_ref before setting the DELETED flag deals with any
      drop race on cache_refs from another thread.
    
      This is actually quite elegant when done correctly.  The VKE_REF_DELETED
      on ve->refs determines when the ve has been destroyed, while
      ve->cache_refs determines when to kfree() the ve.  Acquiring an extra
      cache_ref before setting DELETED interlocks the two fields for last-drop
      purposes.
