virtio: guard against negative vq notifies
The virtio_queue_notify() function checks that the virtqueue number is less than the maximum number of virtqueues. A signed comparison is used but the virtqueue number could be negative if a buggy or malicious guest is run. This results in memory accesses outside of the virtqueue array. It is risky doing input validation in common code instead of at the guest<->host boundary. Note that virtio_queue_set_addr(), virtio_queue_get_addr(), virtio_queue_get_num(), and many other virtio functions do *not* validate the virtqueue number argument. Instead of fixing the comparison in virtio_queue_notify(), move the comparison to the virtio bindings (just like VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_SEL) where we have a uint32_t value and can avoid ever calling into common virtio code if the virtqueue number is invalid.
