Looking at virtnet_set_queues(), it will return success even if no cvq
and no mq support. This is wrong. We need return error in this case.
We'd better fix it and check the its return value in virtnet_restore().

With this fix, there's no need for us to check queue_pairs against zero
like what this patch does.
