[PATCH v5 03/10] vhost: Do not depend on !NULL VirtQueueElement on vhost_svq_flush

[Eugenio Pérez]

Since QEMU will be able to inject new elements on CVQ to restore the
state, we need not to depend on a VirtQueueElement to know if a new
element has been used by the device or not. Instead of check that, check
if there are new elements only using used idx on vhost_svq_flush.
