While virtq is stopped, get_vq_state() is supposed to be called to get sync'ed with the latest internal avail_index from device. The saved avail_index is used to restate the virtq once device is started. Commit b35ccebe3ef7 introduced the clear_virtqueues() routine to reset the saved avail_index, however, the index gets cleared a bit earlier before get_vq_state() tries to read it. This would cause consistency problems when virtq is restarted, e.g. through a series of link down and link up events. We could defer the clearing of avail_index to until the device is to be started, i.e. until VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK is set again in set_status().
