Can't this just go on the stack? We don't want to be allocating memory
during error recovery. Or, alternatively, you could put this in the
vhost structure and protect it with a mutex. We only have enough events
to single thread these anyway.

Prior to this patch, if there was nothing outstanding to the device and cancel_all was called,
no messages would get printed. This is changing that behavior. Is that intentional? Additionally,
it looks like this will get a lot more vebose, logging a message for each hw queue, regardless
of whether there was anything outstanding. Perhaps you want to move this down to after the check
for !found_evt?
