The function `vhost_dev_init()` expects the `struct vhost_dev` (passed as a parameter) to be fully initialized. This is important because some parts of the code check whether `vhost_dev->config_ops` is NULL to determine if it has been set (e.g. later via `vhost_dev_set_config_notifier`).
To ensure this initialization, it’s better to allocate the entire `CryptoDevBackendVhost` structure (which includes `vhost_dev`) using `g_mem0()`, following the same approach used for other vhost devices, such as in `vhost_net_init()`.
