Yes, I think so. And I spot another path which is:

virtnet_tx_resize() -> virtqueue_resize() -> virtnet_sq_free_unused_buf().

Koichiro, I think this fixes the problem of open/stop but may break
freeze/restore(). Let's fix that.

For resizing, it's a path that has been buggy since the introduction of BQL.
