Cchange init_vqs() to avoid calling twice the virtio_has_feature()
- attempting to find out if VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_STATS_VQ feature was negotiated -
consequently we prevent unnecessarily running the drivers' feature_table more
than needed.

Hi Leandro,
This seems like a premature optimization. The current code is
fairly clear, and there's no performance issue with init_vqs.
Am I missing something?

Indeed, rethinking the patch and reviewing the code path it seems to be no
gain,
It's just called on probe and restore operations. As you said a premature
optimization.
Thanks...
