In vhost_enable_notify() we enable the notifications and we read the avail index to check if new buffers have become available in the meantime. In this case, the device would go to re-read avail index to access the descriptor. As we already do in other place, we can cache the value in `avail_idx` and compare it with `last_avail_idx` to check if there are new buffers available.
