[PATCH v5 15/15] hw/nvme: Update the initalization place for the AER queue

[Lukasz Maniak <lukasz.maniak@linux.intel.com>]

From: Łukasz Gieryk <lukasz.gieryk@linux.intel.com>

This patch updates the initialization place for the AER queue, so it’s
initialized once, at controller initialization, and not every time
controller is enabled.

While the original version works for a non-SR-IOV device, as it’s hard
to interact with the controller if it’s not enabled, the multiple
reinitialization is not necessarily correct.

With the SR/IOV feature enabled a segfault can happen: a VF can have its
controller disabled, while a namespace can still be attached to the
controller through the parent PF. An event generated in such case ends
up on an uninitialized queue.

While it’s an interesting question whether a VF should support AER in
the first place, I don’t think it must be answered today.
