[PATCH v2 2/2] virtio-blk: mark disk dead on ERS permanent failure

Message-ID <[email protected]>
After ERS reports pci_channel_io_perm_failure, virtio-pci must ask the
virtio driver to tear down the block device, not only mark virtqueues
broken.  Call the virtio driver shutdown hook from virtio-pci on
perm_failure; virtio-blk implements shutdown with blk_mark_disk_dead().

Fail new requests early in virtio_queue_rq when virtqueues were removed
during frozen reset_prepare (vqs == NULL).  A broken vq already fails in
virtqueue_add; no separate disk_live() check is needed.
