Cchange init_vqs() to avoid calling twice the virtio_has_feature()
- attempting to find out if VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_STATS_VQ feature was negotiated -
consequently we prevent unnecessarily running the drivers' feature_table more
than needed.

Hi Leandro,

        This seems like a premature optimization.  The current code is
fairly clear, and there's no performance issue with init_vqs.

Indeed, rethinking the patch and reviewing the code path it seems to be no gain,
It's just called on probe and restore operations. As you said a premature optimization.

Thanks...

Am I missing something?
Rusty.
