Code must be resilient to enable a queue many times.

At the moment the queue is resetting so it's definitely not the expected
behavior.

But this way the first time vq->ready is set to true, then it will never be set back to false.

Should we leave the assignment out of the block?
Maybe after the if block to avoid the problem we are fixing.

Thanks,
