I think this is just a workaround to avoid printing
error messages in server mode.

Ideally, vhost_user_sock() shouldn't be called with
vhostfd < 0.

If we want this workaround, we should only allow
this in server mode. I.e. do the check like this:

	if (dev->is_server && vhostfd < 0)
		return -1;

Is this really related to this fix?

As Ferruh pointed, a typo here.

When the connection to the backend isn't established in
server mode, what virtio_user_handle_mq() can't do is to
enable the queue pairs. But other checks in that function
are still valid. So I would suggest moving above code to
virtio_user_handle_mq().

Thanks
