[PATCH] vhost: clear ring addresses when getting vring base

[jianping.zhao]

Clear ring addresses during vring base retrieval to handle guest reboot
scenarios correctly. This is particularly important for vdpa-blk devices
where the following issue occurs:

When a guest OS with vdpa-blk device reboots, during UEFI stage, only
one vring is actually used and configured. However, QEMU still sends
enable messages for all configured queues. The remaining queues retain
their addresses from before reboot, which reference invalid memory
mappings in the rebooted guest.

The issue manifests in vq_is_ready():

static bool
vq_is_ready(struct virtio_net *dev, struct vhost_virtqueue *vq)
{
    /* Only checks pointer validity, not address freshness */
    rings_ok = vq->desc && vq->avail && vq->used;
    ...
}

vq_is_ready() incorrectly considers these queues as ready because it
only checks if desc/avail/used pointers are non-NULL, but cannot
detect that these addresses are stale from the previous boot.

Clear the ring addresses in vhost_user_get_vring_base() to force
the guest driver to reconfigure them before use. This ensures that
vq_is_ready() will return false for queues with stale addresses
until they are properly reconfigured by the guest driver.
