Subject: [PATCH 4.5 086/124] virtio: virtio 1.0 cs04 spec compliance for reset

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@...hat.com>

commit 05dbcb430795b2e1fb1d5c757f8619d3dbed0a1c upstream.

The spec says: after writing 0 to device_status, the driver MUST wait
for a read of device_status to return 0 before reinitializing the
device.
