virtio_console: free buffers after reset
Console driver is out of spec. The spec says: A driver MUST NOT decrement the available idx on a live virtqueue (ie. there is no way to “unexpose” buffers). and it does exactly that by trying to detach unused buffers without doing a device reset first. Defer detaching the buffers until device unplug. Of course this means we might get an interrupt for a vq without an attached port now. Handle that by discarding the consumed buffer.
