vhost: introduce vhost_vq_avail_empty()
This patch introduces a helper which will return true if we're sure that the available ring is empty for a specific vq. When we're not sure, e.g vq access failure, return false instead. This could be used for busy polling code to exit the busy loop. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
