The functions vring_new_virtqueue() and __vring_new_virtqueue() are used
with split rings, and any allocations within these functions are managed
outside of the .we_own_ring flag. The commit cbeedb72b97a ("virtio_ring:
allocate desc state for split ring separately") allocates the desc state
within the __vring_new_virtqueue() but frees it only when the
.we_own_ring
flag is set. This leads to a memory leak when freeing such allocated
virtqueues with the vring_del_virtqueue() function.
Fix this by moving the desc_state free code outside the flag and only
for split rings. Issue was discovered during testing with remoteproc
and virtio_rpmsg.

Nitpick, it looks to me it would be more clear if we just free
desc_state unconditionally here (and remove the kfree for packed above).
OK, are you sure you want that to be folded into this patch? It looks to
me a separate cleanup/consolidation patch, and packed desc_state does
not suffer this memleak, and need not be backported into stable kernels.

Though it's just a small tweak, I'm fine for leaving it for future.
