vhost: destroy unused virtqueues when multiqueue not negotiated

QEMU sends VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_CALL requests for all queues
declared in QEMU command line before the guest is started.
It has the effect in DPDK vhost-user backend to allocate vrings
for all queues declared by QEMU.

If the first driver being used does not support multiqueue,
the device never changes to VIRTIO_DEV_RUNNING state as only
the first queue pair is initialized. One driver impacted by
this bug is virtio-net's iPXE driver which does not support
VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ feature.

It is safe to destroy unused virtqueues in SET_FEATURES request
handler, as it is ensured the device is not in running state
at this stage, so virtqueues aren't being processed.
