vring_free_packed() frees the temporary structure vring. It does not affect
desc_state and desc_extra of vq. So it is safe.

The implementation is now:

1. allocate new
2. free old (detach old)
3. attach new

error:
1. free temporary
2. reinit old

Do you think this is ok? We need to add a new variable to save the old vring in
the process you mentioned, there is not much difference in other.

Thanks.
