[PATCH slof v2] virtio: Fix vring allocation

The value returned by virtio_vring_size() is used to allocate memory
for vring. The used descriptor list (array of vring_used_elem) is
counted by the header - vring_used struct - is not.

This fixes virtio_vring_size() to return the correct size.
At the moment rings are quite small (256) and allocated with
4096 alignment, this is why we have not been having issues with
this so far.
