virtio-serial: Let virtio-serial-bus know if all data was consumed
The have_data() API to hand off guest data to apps using virtio-serial so far assumed all the data was consumed. Relax this assumption. Future commits will allow for incomplete writes. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>
