Subject: [PATCH v1 6/6] virtio_ring: Prevent bounds check bypass on descriptor index

The descriptor index in virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_split() comes from the
device/VMM.a Use array_index_nospec() to prevent the CPU from speculating
beyond the descriptor array bounds and providing a primitive for building
a side channel.
