[PATCH RFC v2 04/10] vringh: implement vringh_kiov_advance()

[Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In some cases, it may be useful to provide a way to skip a number
of bytes in a vringh_kiov.

Let's implement vringh_kiov_advance() for this purpose, reusing the
code from vringh_iov_xfer().
We replace that code calling the new vringh_kiov_advance().
