When doing the following test steps, an error was found: step 1: modprobe virtio_blk succeeded # modprobe virtio_blk <-- OK step 2: fault injection in __blk_mq_alloc_disk() # modprobe -r virtio_blk <-- OK # ...

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 init_vq() succeeded, all virtqueues should be stopped on error handling path.
