Stefano Garzarella 49d8c5ffad vhost/vsock: fix incorrect used length reported to the guest
The "used length" reported by calling vhost_add_used() must be the
number of bytes written by the device (using "in" buffers).

In vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick() the device only reads the guest
buffers (they are all "out" buffers), without writing anything,
so we must pass 0 as "used length" to comply virtio spec.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
