Subject: vhost: fix length for cross region descriptor
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit bd97120fc3d1a11f3124c7c9ba1d91f51829eb85 upstream.
If a single descriptor crosses a region, the
second chunk length should be decremented
by size translated so far, instead it includes
the full descriptor length.
