vhost: introduce last available index for dequeue

So far, we retrieve both the used ring and avail ring idx by the var
last_used_idx; it won't be a problem because the used ring is updated
immediately after those avail entries are consumed.

But that's not true when dequeue zero copy is enabled, that used ring is
updated only when the mbuf is consumed. Thus, we need use another var to
note the last avail ring idx we have consumed.

Therefore, last_avail_idx is introduced.
