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. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
