In virtio_net we need to do a full reset of the device to support
queue reconfiguration and also we can trigger this via ethtool
commands. So instead of open coding this in net driver push this
into generic code in virtio. This also avoid exporting a handful
of internal virtio routines.
Looks like this is not a pci specific stuffs. And there's some driver left (e.g
scsi and block).

In fact, I'm not sure touching other drivers is really needed. Maybe we can just:
- move virtio_device_freeze(), virtio_device_restore() and .freeze/.restore in
virtio_driver out of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
- move virtnet_freeze() and virtnet_restore() out of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
- introduce virtio_net_reset() and call
virtio_device_freeze()/virtio_device_restore() there
Michael, what do you think? I was following your suggestion on writing a
generic virtio reset here. I don't have a preference either way.
Actually if I roll it into virtio_net per above suggestion I can probably get
the locking correct. As DaveM points out its complete junk at the moment around
the rtnl_try_lock() logic. Ugh.

I'll spin a v5...

Another possible issue for sleep/hibernation is xdp_prog were not restored, if
this is not XDP intended, we'd better fix this.
Yep this bug exists even without this series. I'll add it to my list of things
to fix. Along with small packet max_mtu.

Thanks
