Subject: [PATCH] scsi/virio_scsi.c: do not call virtscsi_remove_vqs() in virtscsi_init() to avoid crash bug

If some error happened before find_vqs, error branch will goto
virtscsi_remove_vqs to free vqs. Actually the vqs have not been allocated
successfully, so this will cause wild-pointer-free problem. So
virtscsi_remove_vqs could be deleted as no error will happen after
find_vqs.

Can you provide more details about the problem?

drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c:vp_del_vqs() looks fine to me, it
iterates over vdev->vqs. The vdev->vqs list has been initialized in
drivers/virtio/virtio.c:register_virtio_device() and it's empty.
