Virtualization - Nov 2021 - [PATCH 0/2] vhost/vsock: fix used length and cleanup in vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick()

This is a follow-up to Micheal's patch [1] and the discussion with Halil and
Jason [2].

I made two patches, one to fix the problem and one for cleanup. This should
simplify the backport of the fix because we've had the problem since
vhost-vsock was introduced (v4.8) and that part has been touched a bit
recently.

Thanks,
Stefano

  vhost/vsock: fix incorrect used length reported to the guest
  vhost/vsock: cleanup removing `len` variable

The "used length" reported by calling vhost_add_used() must be the
number of bytes written by the device (using "in" buffers).

In vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick() the device only reads the guest
buffers (they are all "out" buffers), without writing anything,
so we must pass 0 as "used length" to comply virtio spec.

We can increment `total_len` directly and remove `len` since it
is no longer used for vhost_add_used().
