Subject: [PATCH] vringh: don't use vringh_kiov_advance() in vringh_iov_xfer()

In the while loop of vringh_iov_xfer(), `partlen` could be 0 if one of
the `iov` has 0 lenght.
In this case, we should skip the iov and go to the next one.
But calling vringh_kiov_advance() with 0 lenght does not cause the
advancement, since it returns immediately if asked to advance by 0 bytes.

Let's restore the code that was there before commit b8c06ad4d67d
("vringh: implement vringh_kiov_advance()"), avoiding using
vringh_kiov_advance().

Fixes: b8c06ad4d67d ("vringh: implement vringh_kiov_advance()")
