Subject: [RFC] vhost: Clear the pending messages on vhost_init_device_iotlb()

When the vhost iotlb is used along with a guest virtual iommu
and the guest gets rebooted, some MISS messages may have been
recorded just before the reboot and spuriously executed by
the virtual iommu after the reboot. Despite the device iotlb gets
re-initialized, the messages are not cleared. Fix that by calling
vhost_clear_msg() at the end of vhost_init_device_iotlb().
