Michael S. Tsirkin e6af578c53 virtio-pci: make reset operation safer
virtio pci device reset actually just does an I/O
write, which in PCI is really posted, that is it
can complete on CPU before the device has received it.

Further, interrupts might have been pending on
another CPU, so device callback might get invoked after reset.

This conflicts with how drivers use reset, which is typically:
	reset
	unregister
a callback running after reset completed can race with
unregister, potentially leading to use after free bugs.

Fix by flushing out the write, and flushing pending interrupts.

This assumes that device is never reset from
its vq/config callbacks, or in parallel with being
added/removed, document this assumption.
