A common pattern for device reset is currently:
vdev->config->reset(vdev);
.. cleanup ..

reset prevents new interrupts from arriving and waits for interrupt
handlers to finish.

However if - as is common - the handler queues a work request which is
flushed during the cleanup stage, we have code adding buffers / trying
to get buffers while device is reset. Not good.

This was reproduced by running
	modprobe virtio_console
	modprobe -r virtio_console
in a loop, and this reasoning seems to apply to virtio mem though
I could not reproduce it there.

Fix this up by calling virtio_break_device + flush before reset.
