[PATCH] virtio: Fix virtio initialization sequence

The virtio spec clearly states in "3.1.1 Driver Requirements: Device
Initialization" the sequence a client has to follow after device reset.
Because u-boot resets here again, it also needs to set the "acknowledge"
bit again even if this was done in virtio_uclass_child_post_bind already
once before.
