[PATCH v2 1/5] 9p: Fix probe failed when modprobe 9pnet_virtio

When doing the following test steps, an error was found:
  step 1: modprobe 9pnet_virtio succeeded
    # modprobe 9pnet_virtio      <-- OK

  step 2: fault injection in sysfs_create_file()
    # modprobe -r 9pnet_virtio   <-- OK
    # ...
      FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.

  step 3: modprobe 9pnet_virtio failed
    # modprobe 9pnet_virtio       <-- failed
      9pnet_virtio: probe of virtio3 failed with error -2

The root cause of the problem is that the virtqueues are not
stopped on the error handling path when sysfs_create_file()
fails in p9_virtio_probe(), resulting in an error "-ENOENT"
returned in the next modprobe call in setup_vq().

virtio_pci_modern_device uses virtqueues to send or
receive message, and "queue_enable" records whether the
queues are available. In vp_modern_find_vqs(), all queues
will be selected and activated, but once queues are enabled
there is no way to go back except reset.

Fix it by reset virtio device on error handling path. After
virtio_find_single_vq() succeeded, all virtqueues should be
stopped on error handling path.
