virtio_console: verify if queue is broken after virtqueue_get_buf()
If virtqueue_get_buf() returns with a NULL pointer it should be verified if the virtqueue is broken, in order to avoid loop calling cpu_relax(). Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs <graalfs@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
