virtio: Fix polling in virtqueue_dequeue()
The access of vq->vq_ring.used->idx needs to be volatile-qualified,
otherwise the compiler may optimize virtqueue_poll() into an infinite
loop if there is no data available upon the first poll.
Prior to commit ad17789a8569 this wasn't a problem since an external
function call after each poll inhibited the optimization.
