Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio: use virtio_device_ready() in virtio_device_restore()

After waking up a suspended VM, the kernel prints the following trace
for virtio drivers which do not directly call virtio_device_ready() in
the .restore:

PM: suspend exit
irq 22: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Disabling IRQ #22

This happens because we don't invoke .enable_cbs callback in
virtio_device_restore(). That callback is used by some transports
(e.g. virtio-pci) to enable interrupts.

Let's fix it, by calling virtio_device_ready() as we do in
virtio_dev_probe(). This function calls .enable_cts callback and sets
DRIVER_OK status bit.

This fix also avoids setting DRIVER_OK twice for those drivers that
call virtio_device_ready() in the .restore.
