Great :)

I originally wrote it based on the virtnet_reset function introduced
for xdp. Calling this from virtnet_config_changed_work is non trivial,
as virtnet_freeze_down waits until no config worker is running.

Otherwise, I could not find any constraints on when freeze may be
called, and it largely follows the same path. I hope I didn't miss anything.
