[PATCH v6 01/12] vhost: stop transfer elem ownership in vhost_handle_guest_kick

["Eugenio Pérez" <eperezma@redhat.com>]

It was easier to allow vhost_svq_add to handle the memory. Now that we
will allow qemu to add elements to a SVQ without the guest's knowledge,
it's better to handle it in the caller.
