vhost: prevent disabled rings to be processed with zero-copy
The vhost-user spec says that once the vring is disabled, the
client has to stop processing it. But it can happen when
dequeue zero-copy is enabled if outstanding descriptors buffers
are still being processed by an external NIC or another guest.
The fix consists in draining the zmbufs list to ensure no more
descriptors buffers are in the wild.
Note that this fix is only working in the case REPLY_ACK
protocol feature is enabled, which is not the case by default
for now (it is only enabled when IOMMU feature is enabled in
the vhost library).
