[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] backends/vhost-user.c: prevent using uninitialized vqs

[Raphael Norwitz]

Similar rational to: e6cc11d64fc998c11a4dfcde8fda3fc33a74d844

For vhost scsi and vhost-user-scsi an issue was observed
where, of the 3 virtqueues, seabios would only set cmd,
leaving ctrl and event without a physical address.
This can caused vhost_verify_ring_part_mapping to return
ENOMEM, causing the following logs:

qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to map available ring for ring 0
qemu-system-x86_64: Verify ring failure on region 0

The issue has already been fixed elsewhere, but it was noted
that in backends/vhost-user.c, the vhost_user_backend_dev_init()
function, which other vdevs use in their realize() to initialize
their vqs, was not being properly zeroing out the queues. This
commit ensures hardware modules using the
vhost_user_backend_dev_init() API properly zero out their vqs on
initialization.
