Subject: [PATCH 2/2] vringh: fetch used_idx from vring at vringh_init_iotlb

Starting from an used_idx different than 0 is needed in use cases like
virtual machine migration.  Not doing so and letting the caller set an
avail idx different than 0 causes destination device to try to use old
buffers that source driver already recover and are not available
anymore.

While callers like vdpa_sim set avail_idx directly it does not set
used_idx.  Instead of let the caller do the assignment, fetch it from
the guest at initialization like vhost-kernel do.

To perform the same at vring_kernel_init and vring_user_init is left for
the future.
