When the dataplane thread stops, its vring.c implementation synchronizes
vring state back to virtio.c so we can continue emulating the virtio
device.
This patch ensures that virtio.c's signalled_used_valid flag is reset so
that we do not suppress guest notifications due to stale signalled_used
values.

Load the virtio.c state into vring.c when we start dataplane mode and
vice versa when stopping dataplane mode. This patch makes it possible
to start and stop dataplane any time while the guest is running.
This will eventually allow us to go back to QEMU main loop for
bdrv_drain_all() and live migration. In the meantime, this patch makes
the dataplane lifecycle more robust but should make no visible
difference. It may be useful in the virtio-net dataplane effort.
