This commit is the first in a series to add support for packed
virtqueues in vhost_shadow_virtqueue.
Linux commit 1225c216d954 ("vp_vdpa: allow set vq state to initial
state after reset") enabled the vp_vdpa driver to set the vq state to
the device's initial state. This works differently for split and packed
vqs.
With shadow virtqueues enabled, vhost-vdpa sets the vring base using
the VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE ioctl. The payload (vhost_vring_state)
differs for split and packed vqs. The implementation in QEMU currently
uses the payload required for split vqs (i.e., the num field of
vhost_vring_state is set to 0). The kernel throws EOPNOTSUPP when this
payload is used with packed vqs.
This patch sets the num field in the payload appropriately so vhost-vdpa
(with the vp_vdpa driver) can use packed SVQs.

This should be added before 6/7 so we don't declare we support packed
without this.

Sure, I'll change the ordering in the next patch series.
