virtio: set device index in common code.
Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code, but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field. In theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created. So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code. The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier for the printks.
