Subject: [PATCH] net/virtio-user: fix start with kernel vhost

[ upstream commit bce7e9050f9b5e92cead60e8ac7768812ce898f2 ]

After reset owner in below patch, we failed to set owner before
sending further vhost messages. It is OK with vhost user implemented
DPDK/VPP/Contrail, but it sees "Operation not permitted" error when
used with vhost kernel.

We fix this by setting owner every time the device is started.

Fixes: 0d6a8752ac9d ("net/virtio-user: fix crash as features change")
