The vq->is_le field is used to fix endianness when accessing the vring via
the cpu_to_vhost16() and vhost16_to_cpu() helpers in the following cases:
1) host is big endian and device is modern virtio
2) host has cross-endian support and device is legacy virtio with a different
endianness than the host
Both cases rely on the VHOST_SET_FEATURES ioctl, but 2) also needs the
VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctl to be called by userspace. Since vq->is_le
is only needed when the backend is active, it was decided to set it at
backend start.
This is currently done in vhost_init_used()->vhost_init_is_le() but it
obfuscates the core vhost code. This patch moves the is_le setup to a
dedicated function that is called from the backend code.
Note vhost_net is the only backend that can pass vq->private_data == NULL to
vhost_init_used(), hence the "if (sock)" branch.
No behaviour change.
