In vp_modern_find_vqs(), all queues will be selected and activated, but once queues are enabled there is no way to go back except reset. Fix it by reset virtio device on error handling path. After virtinput_init_vqs() succeeded, all virtqueues should be stopped on error handling path. Fixes: 271c865161c5 ("Add virtio-input driver.")
