vhost-user: send SET_STATUS 0 after GET_VRING_BASE

Setting the VIRTIO Device Status Field to 0 resets the device. The
device's state is lost, including the vring configuration.

vhost-user.c currently sends SET_STATUS 0 before GET_VRING_BASE. This
risks confusion about the lifetime of the vhost-user state (e.g. vring
last_avail_idx) across VIRTIO device reset.

Eugenio Pérez <eperezma@redhat.com> adjusted the order for vhost-vdpa.c
in commit c3716f260bff ("vdpa: move vhost reset after get vring base")
and in that commit description suggested doing the same for vhost-user
in the future.

Go ahead and adjust vhost-user.c now. I ran various online code searches
to identify vhost-user backends implementing SET_STATUS. It seems only
DPDK implements SET_STATUS and Yajun Wu <yajunw@nvidia.com> has
confirmed that it is safe to make this change.
