4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5c60300d68da32ca77f7f978039dc72bfc78b06b upstream.
When out of memory and we can't add ctrl vq buffers,
probe fails. Unfortunately the error handling is
out of spec: it calls del_vqs without bothering
to reset the device first.
To fix, call the full cleanup function in this case.
