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.

We need set log when updating used flags and avail event. Otherwise guest may
see stale values after migration and then do not exit or exit unexpectedly.

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?


Right, thanks for the cleanup.
