Subject: [PATCH 1/3] virtio_ring: always warn when descriptor chain exceeds queue size

>From section 2.6.5.3.1 (Driver Requirements: Indirect Descriptors)
of the virtio spec:

  "A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than the Queue
  Size of the device."

This text suggests that the warning should trigger even if
indirect descriptors are in use.
