Actually, the userspace doesn't have the insights whether virt queue
will be destroyed if just changing the device status via set_status().
Looking at other vdpa driver in tree i.e. ifcvf it doesn't behave like
so. Hence this still looks to me to be Mellanox specifics and
mlx5_vdpa implementation detail that shouldn't expose to userspace.
