 event

Subject: vhost: used ring logging cleanup

remove extra log bit setting for used ring updates: it's no longer
necessary.  Also, use vhost_avail_event instead of duplicating offset
math.

OK but this means we set the log twice now.
Also, hardcording offset is not as nice as using
vhost_avail_event. So I think the below is needed
on top. Comments?
