Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix VHOST_GET_BACKEND_FEATURES ioctl request
 definition

The _IOC_READ flag fits this ioctl request more because this request
actually only writes to, but doesn't read from userspace.
See NOTEs in include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h for more information.

Fixes: 429711aec282 ("vhost: switch to use new message format")
