Subject: [PATCH net] virtio-net: fix race between set queues and probe

A race were found where set_channels could be called after registering
but before virtnet_set_queues() in virtnet_probe(). Fixing this by
moving the virtnet_set_queues() before netdevice registering. While at
it, use _virtnet_set_queues() to avoid holding rtnl as the device is
not even registered at that time.

Fixes: a220871be66f ("virtio-net: correctly enable multiqueue")
