commit 51b813176f098ff61bd2833f627f5319ead098a5 upstream.
Commit 25266128fe16 ("virtio-net: fix race between set queues and probe") tries to fix the race between set queues and probe by calling _virtnet_set_queues() before DRIVER_OK is set. This violates virtio spec. Fixing this by setting queues after virtio_device_ready().
Note that rtnl needs to be held for userspace requests to change the number of queues. So we are serialized in this way.
