3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4cd879515d686849eec5f718aeac62a70b067d82 ] We don't stop device before reset owner, this means we could try to serve any virtqueue kick before reset dev->worker. This will result a warn since the work was pending at llist during owner resetting. Fix this by stopping device during owner reset.
