In commit bb478d8b167 virtio_ring: plug kmemleak false positive,
kmemleak_ignore was introduced. This broke compilation of virtio_test:

  cc -g -O2 -Wall -I. -I ../../usr/include/ -Wno-pointer-sign

Add a dummy header for tools/virtio, and add #incldue &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt;
to drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c so it is picked up by the userspace
tools.

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in
the virtqueue of a particular virtio device.

Changing the notify API for guest-&gt;host notification seems to be one
prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context
where the kick is triggered.

This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a
bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying
the whole sg array.  Some other things get slightly neater, too.

This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as
a wrapper.  This is addressed in the next patches.
