Linux Virtualization - Apr 2020 - [PATCH v6 05/12] virtio: stop using legacy struct vring in kernel

struct vring (in the uapi directory) and supporting APIs are kept
around to solely avoid breaking old userspace builds.
It's not actually part of the UAPI - it was kept in the UAPI
header by mistake, and using it in kernel isn't necessary
and prevents us from making changes safely.
In particular, the APIs actually assume the legacy layout.

Add an internal kernel-only struct vring and
switch everyone to use that.
