[PATCH v2 15/15] virtio_net: fix use after free on allocation failure

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

In the extremely unlikely event that driver initialization fails after
RX buffers are added, virtio net frees RX buffers while VQs are
still active, potentially causing device to use a freed buffer.

To fix, reset device first - same as we do on device removal.
