When qemu with vhost-vdpa netdevice is run for the first time, it works well.
But after the VM is powered off, the next qemu run causes kernel panic due to a
NULL pointer dereference in irq_bypass_register_producer().
When the VM is powered off, vhost_dev_stop() is invoked which in turn calls
vhost_vdpa_reset_device() causing the irq_bypass producers to be unregistered.
On the next run, when qemu opens the vhost device, the vhost_vdpa_open() file
operation calls vhost_dev_init(). Here, call_ctx->producer memory is cleared
in vhost_vring_call_reset().
Further, when the virtqueues are initialized by vhost_virtqueue_init(),
vhost_vdpa_setup_vq_irq() again registers the irq_bypass producer for each
virtqueue. As the node member of struct irq_bypass_producer is also initialized
to zero, traversal on the producers list causes crash due to NULL pointer
dereference.
