vhost: Fix Spectre V1 vulnerability

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1810807

[ Upstream commit ff002269 ]

The idx in vhost_vring_ioctl() was controlled by userspace, hence a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Fixing this by sanitizing idx before using it to index d->vqs.
