Subject: [PATCH v5 29/45] vhost/net: force len for TX to host endian

vhost/net keeps a copy of some used ring but (ab)uses length
field for internal house-keeping. This works because
for tx used length is always 0.
Suppress sparse errors: we use native endian-ness internally but never
expose it to guest.
