Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mlx5_vdpa: defer clear_virtqueues to until DRIVER_OK

While virtq is stopped,  get_vq_state() is supposed to
be  called to  get  sync'ed  with  the latest internal
avail_index from device. The saved avail_index is used
to restate  the virtq  once device is started.  Commit
b35ccebe3ef7 introduced the clear_virtqueues() routine
to  reset  the saved  avail_index,  however, the index
gets cleared a bit earlier before get_vq_state() tries
to read it. This would cause consistency problems when
virtq is restarted, e.g. through a series of link down
and link up events. We  could  defer  the  clearing of
avail_index  to  until  the  device  is to be started,
i.e. until  VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK  is set again in
set_status().

Fixes: b35ccebe3ef7 ("vdpa/mlx5: Restore the hardware used index after change map")
