When devops->configure() is called, the queues may be reallocated
if the features flag changed, but the previous are not freed. This
patchset fixes this issue.

To really point out the issue, I instrumented rte_malloc,
rte_memzone_reserve, rte_mbuf_alloc to track the allocations and frees.
For reference, the patch is available here:
https://www.droids-corp.org/~zer0/hidden/0001-debug-malloc.patch
Iit conflicts a bit with the patchset, but it is quite easy to solve.

To reproduce the issue:

  cd dpdk
  make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
  sed -i 's,CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VIRTIO_DEBUG_INIT=n,CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VIRTIO_DEBUG_INIT=y,' build/.config
  make -j4
  mkdir -p /mnt/huge
  mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
  echo 256 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
  modprobe uio_pci_generic
  python usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b uio_pci_generic 0000:00:02.0
  ./build/app/testpmd -l 0,1 --log-level 8 -- --total-num-mbufs=16384 \
     -i --port-topology=chained --disable-hw-vlan-filter \
     --disable-hw-vlan-strip --enable-rx-cksum --enable-lro \
     --txqflags=0 --no-lsc-interrupt

  # testpmd commands
  port stop 0
  port config all rx-cksum off
  port start 0
  quit

Without the patchset, the debug patch displays a leak of mbufs allocated
from virtio_dev_rx_queue_setup_finish() and a leak of rte_mallocs allocated
from virtio_init_queue().

After the patchset, only one malloc is remaining after the device close,
but this is normal, because this area is freed in dev_uninit().
