From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 25266128fe16d5632d43ada34c847d7b8daba539 upstream. A race were found where set_channels could be called after registering but before virtnet_set_queues() in virtnet_probe(). Fixing this by moving the virtnet_set_queues() before netdevice registering. While at it, use _virtnet_set_queues() to avoid holding rtnl as the device is not even registered at that time.
