[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/4] net/virtio: fix memory leak when reinitializing device

[Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>]

Free the previous queues and the attached mbufs before initializing new
ones.

The function virtio_dev_free_mbufs() is now called when reconfiguring the
device, so we also need to add a check to ensure that it won't crash for
uninitialized queues.
