The virtio specification received a new mandatory feature

For each read-request, set the VIRTIO_I2C_FLAGS_M_RD flag, as required
by the VIRTIO_I2C_F_ZERO_LENGTH_REQUEST feature.
This allows us to support zero length requests, like SMBUS Quick, where
the buffer need not be sent anymore.

Hi Wolfram,
Please do not apply this until the spec changes [1] are merged, sending it early
to get review done. I will ping you later once the spec is merged.

It might be better to return -EOPNOTSUPP ?
