As you stated, he just moved it to the end of the function: it
still does invoke notfiy_ops->destroy_device() in the end.
And the reason he moved it to the end is he want to invoke the
callback just when the second GET_VRING_BASE message is received
for the queue pair. And while thinking twice, it's not necessary,
as we will do the "flags & VIRTIO_DEV_RUNNING" check first, it
doesn't matter on which virt queue we invoke the callback.
