[PATCH 1/1] vhost: fix a double fetch when dequeue offloading

[Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>]

The hdr->csum_start does two successive reads from user space to read a
variable length data structure. The result overflow if the data structure
changes between the two reads.

To fix this, we can prevent double fetch issue by copying virtio_hdr to
the temporary variable.
