For virtio-pci, the spec says that a zero queue size means that the
queue is unavailable. I don't think we have specified that explicitly
for virtio-ccw, but it does make sense.

virtio-pci returns -ENOENT in that case, which might be a good choice
here as well.

Which case is this guarding against? names[i] was NULL for every index?
