This patch fixes network hang after "stop" then "cont", while network
packets keep arriving.
Tested both manually (tap, host pinging guest) and with Jason's qtest
series (plus his "[PATCH 2.4] socket: pass correct size in
net_socket_send()" fix).
As virtio_net_set_status is called when guest driver is setting status
byte and when vm state is changing, it is a good opportunity to flush
queued packets.
This is necessary because during vm stop the backend (e.g. tap) would
stop rx processing after .can_receive returns false, until the queue is
explicitly flushed or purged.
The other interesting condition in .can_receive, virtio_queue_ready(),
is handled by virtio_net_handle_rx() when guest kicks; the 3rd condition
is invalid queue index which doesn't need flushing.
