John Levon 4aedda25e8 virtio: reset device on bad guest index in virtio_load()
If we find a queue with an inconsistent guest index value, explicitly mark the
device as needing a reset - and broken - via virtio_error().

There's at least one driver implementation - the virtio-win NetKVM driver - that
is able to handle a VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET notification and successfully
restore the device to a working state. Other implementations do not correctly
handle this, but as the VQ is not in a functional state anyway, this is still
worth doing.
