It would be simpler to use vhost_add_used in vsock/vhost_test to add a
batch of used descriptors, and leave vhost_add_used_n untouched.

Since it's the upper layer the one that manages the in_order in this
version, we could:
* Always call vhost_add_used(vq, last_head_of_batch, ...) for the tx
queue, that does not need used length info.
* Call vhost_add_used_n for the rx queue, since the driver needs the
used length info.
