[PATCH 1/1] virtio-net: fix bug 1451 aka "assert(!virtio_net_get_subqueue(nc)->async_tx.elem); "

[Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>]

Reproducer from https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1451
creates small packet (1 segment, len=10 == n->guest_hdr_len),
destroys queue.

"if (n->host_hdr_len != n->guest_hdr_len)" is triggered. There is
nothing after guest header, if body creates zero length/zero segment packet.

qemu_sendv_packet_async() tries to send it.

Packet is discarded inside net_slirp_receive() which returns number of
sent bytes which is 0.

0 is propagated upwards and is interpreted as "zero bytes has been sent"
which is terrible because queue is being destroyed, nobody is waiting
for TX to complete, TX complete hook is _not_ called and
assert(async_tx.elem) is eventually triggered.

The fix is to discard such phantom packets in virtio_net_flush_tx().
