Michael S. Tsirkin 7ae4b866f8 virtio: return correct capacity to users ...

We can't rely on indirect buffers for capacity
calculations because they need a memory allocation
which might fail.  In particular, virtio_net can get
into this situation under stress, and it drops packets
and performs badly.

So return the number of buffers we can guarantee users.
