Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] vhost: fix vhost_vq_access_ok() log check

Commit d65026c6c62e7d9616c8ceb5a53b68bcdc050525 ("vhost: validate log
when IOTLB is enabled") introduced a regression.  The logic was
originally:

  if (vq->iotlb)
      return 1;
  return A && B;

After the patch the short-circuit logic for A was inverted:

  if (A || vq->iotlb)
      return A;
  return B;

This patch fixes the regression by rewriting the checks in the obvious
way, no longer returning A when vq->iotlb is non-NULL (which is hard to
understand).
