Subject: [PATCH 2/2] vhost: disentangle vring endianness stuff from the core
 code

The way vring endianness is being handled currently obfuscates
the code in vhost_init_used().

This patch tries to fix that by doing the following:
- move the the code that adjusts endianness to a dedicated helper
- export this helper so that backends explicitely call it

No behaviour change.
