In the while loop of vringh_iov_xfer(), `partlen` could be 0 if one of the `iov` has 0 lenght. In this case, we should skip the iov and go to the next one. But calling vringh_kiov_advance() with 0 lenght does not cause the advancement, since it returns immediately if asked to advance by 0 bytes. Let's restore the code that was there before commit b8c06ad4d67d ("vringh: implement vringh_kiov_advance()"), avoiding using vringh_kiov_advance().
