[ upstream commit 62a0e941b5000fec02dc3bd3efed092b809ce570 ]

Fixing the below error by returning from the function early
when count == 0.

Issue flagged by GCC 7.1.1

examples/vhost/virtio_net.c:370:38: error: ‘desc_indexes[0]’ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  rte_prefetch0(&vr->desc[desc_indexes[0]]);

Fixes: ca059fa5e290 ("examples/vhost: demonstrate the new generic APIs")
