In the last phase of vhost communication, there're usually a sequence of 
messages
"SET_VRING_KICK" and "SET_VRING_CALL". With this patch, at the arrival of
"SET_VRING_KICK", virtio_is_ready() will return true, and the invalid call fd 
will
get involved into dev_con().

I'm not sure if the invalid callfd implementation still exist in latest QEMU, 
if yes,
We have to handle this case.

In an old implementation with QEMU 2.6, I met the issue. To verify it, you need 
to
Setup a VM (maybe nested) and verify if virtio can get an interrupt.
