hw/virtio: reject zero-length packed indirect descriptor table
The split-ring path already rejects a zero-length indirect descriptor
table since commit 7423192912af ("virtio: add checks for the size of
the indirect table"). The packed-ring path is missing the same check,
allowing a guest to trigger an assertion in address_space_cache_init()
with a packed indirect descriptor that has len=0.
Add the same !desc.len check to the packed-ring indirect validation
in both virtqueue_packed_get_avail_bytes() and virtqueue_packed_pop().
Fixes: 86044b24e865 ("virtio: basic packed virtqueue support")
