The 9P protocol is transport agnostic: if the guest misconfigured the
buffers, the best we can do is to set the broken flag on the device.

Since virtio_pdu_vmarshal() may be called by several active PDUs, we
check if the transport isn't broken already to avoid printing extra
error messages.

v5: - use ssize_t variable in virtio_pdu_v[un]marshal()
    - drop remaining vdev->broken check (MST suggested to discuss calling
      virtio_error() when the device is already broken to a separate thread)

Oops, forgot to drop this last sentence... Will do when pushing to my tree.

Oops, I've already sent a pull request and it got merged.

Thanks for the Reviewed-by's anyway.
