Current vm_running was not explicitly initialized and its value was changed by
vm state notifier, this may confuse the virtio device being hotplugged such as
virtio-net with vhost backend as it may think the vm was not running. Solve this
by initialize this value explicitly in virtio_common_init().

I think a slightly cleaner way would be to invoke
virtio_vmstate_change after it is registered,
have that update the vm_running field.

Do you mean call it in virtio_common_init() directly? But the bindings 
are not initialized then. Or is there anything I missed?

My idea was that when we register a callback, it can
immediately be invoked with the current vm state.

But this has other implications so would have to be
tested more. So I think your patch is a good start.
