This patch fixes a compilation issue met with GCC on
Loongarch64:

In function ‘mbuf_to_desc’,
    inlined from ‘vhost_enqueue_async_packed’ at ../../../dpdk/lib/vhost/virtio_net.c:1822:6,
    inlined from ‘virtio_dev_rx_async_packed’ at ../../../dpdk/lib/vhost/virtio_net.c:1836:6,
    inlined from ‘virtio_dev_rx_async_submit_packed’ at ../../../dpdk/lib/vhost/virtio_net.c:1895:7:
../../../dpdk/lib/vhost/virtio_net.c:1159:18: error: ‘buf_vec[0].buf_addr’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
 1159 |         buf_addr = buf_vec[vec_idx].buf_addr;
      |         ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../../dpdk/lib/vhost/virtio_net.c: In function ‘virtio_dev_rx_async_submit_packed’:
../../../dpdk/lib/vhost/virtio_net.c:1834:27: note: ‘buf_vec’ declared here
 1834 |         struct buf_vector buf_vec[BUF_VECTOR_MAX];
      |                           ^~~~~~~

It happens because the compiler assumes that 'size'
variable in vhost_enqueue_async_packed could wrap to 0 since
'size' is uint32_t and pkt->pkt_len too.

In practice, it would never happen since 'pkt->pkt_len' is
unlikely to be close to UINT32_MAX, but let's just change
'size' to uint64_t to make the compiler happy without
having to add runtime checks.
