virtio_net: fix use after free on allocation failure
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. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
