Subject[09/55] virtio: Decrement avail idx on buffer detach
2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>

commit b3258ff1d6086bd2b9eeb556844a868ad7d49bc8 upstream.

When detaching a buffer from a vq, the avail.idx value should be
decremented as well.

This was noticed by hot-unplugging a virtio console port and then
plugging in a new one on the same number (re-using the vqs which were
just 'disowned'). qemu reported

'Guest moved used index from 0 to 256'

when any IO was attempted on the new port.
