So the code can be simplified a bit by dropping the local variable
@last_avail_idx.

No functional change intended.

I don't see the big advantage and the line is long now.


The point is to avoid the local variable @last_avail_idx since it's equivalent
to vq->last_avail_idx, as stated in the commit log. Besides, it paves the way
for PATCH[v2 3/4] where the whole logic fetching the head and sanity check is
moved to vhost_get_avail_head(), so that vhost_get_vq_desc() is simplified

I will drop PATCH[2, 3, 4] as you suggested.

Thanks,
Gavin
