The fact that handle_mmio(), and thus the instruction emulator, is
being run through twice for emulations that require involvement of the
device model, allows for the second run to see a different guest state
than the first one. Since only the MMIO-specific emulation routines
update the vCPU's io_state, if they get invoked on the second pass,
internal state (and particularly this variable) can be left in a state
making successful emulation of a subsequent MMIO operation impossible.

Consequently, whenever the emulator invocation returns without
requesting a retry of the guest instruction, reset io_state.
