Subject: [PATCH] virtio_console: free unused buffers with virtio port

  The commit a7a69ec0d8e4 ("virtio_console: free buffers after reset")
  deffered detaching of unused buffer to virtio device unplug time. 

  This causes unplug/replug of single port in virtio device with an 
  error "Error allocating inbufs\n". As we don't free the unused buffers 
  attached with the port. Re-plug the same port tries to allocate new
  buffers in virtqueue and results in this error if queue is full. 

  This patch removes the unused buffers in vq's when we unplug the port.
  This is the best we can do as we cannot call device_reset because virtio 
  device is still active. This was the working behaviour before the change 
  introduced in commit b3258ff1d6.
