[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/virtio: fix an incorrect behavior of device stop/start

[Tiwei Bie]

After starting a device, the driver shouldn't deliver the
packets that already existed in the device before it is
started to the applications. This patch fixes this issue
by flushing the Rx queues when starting the device.

Fixes: a85786dc816f ("virtio: fix states handling during initialization")
