Marc-André Lureau 640601c7cb libvhost-user: fix crash when rings aren't ready
Calling libvhost-user functions like vu_queue_get_avail_bytes() when the
queue doesn't yet have addresses will result in the crashes like the
following:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x000055c414112ce4 in vring_avail_idx (vq=0x55c41582fd68, vq=0x55c41582fd68)

(gdb) p vq
$1 = (VuVirtq *) 0x55c41582fd68
(gdb) p vq->vring
$2 = {num = 0, desc = 0x0, avail = 0x0, used = 0x0, log_guest_addr = 0, flags = 0}

Add a pre-condition checks on vring.avail before accessing it.

Fix documentation and return type of vu_queue_empty() while at it.
