vhost_virtqueue_stop() gets avail index value from the backend, except if the backend is not responding. It happens when the backend crashes, and in this case, internal state of the virtio queue is inconsistent, making packets to corrupt the vring state. With a Linux guest, it results in following error message on backend reconnection: [ 22.444905] virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 0 is not a head!
