vhost-user: assert nregions within limit
scrub_shadow_regions() and vhost_user_add_remove_regions() use
fixed-size stack arrays sized to VHOST_USER_MAX_RAM_SLOTS and index them
with dev->mem->nregions.
nregions is calculated to never overrun these, but let's add an assert
to make sure we don't get a stack overflow if there's a bug.
Fixes: f1aeb14b08 ("Transmit vhost-user memory regions individually")
