Not zeroing it causes a SIGSEGV if the live migration is cancelled, at net device restart.
This is caused because CVQ tries to reuse the iova_tree that is present in the first vhost_vdpa device at the end of vhost_vdpa_net_cvq_start. As a consequence, it tries to access an iova_tree that has been already free.
