Please drop the s->config_size field introduced in this patch and use
vdev->config_len instead. When the same value is stored in multiple
places it's hard to be sure each copy remains identical and bugs can
creep in.

For example, if vdev->config_len is used consistently then it's clear
that buffer overflows and information leaks are prevented by common
code:

  uint32_t virtio_config_readb(VirtIODevice *vdev, uint32_t addr)
  {
      VirtioDeviceClass *k = VIRTIO_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(vdev);
      uint8_t val;

      if (addr + sizeof(val) > vdev->config_len) {
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          return (uint32_t)-1;
      }

      k->get_config(vdev, vdev->config);

It's safe because vdev->config is g_malloc0(vdev->config_len).

Buf if I see s->config_size, I don't really know whether it's safe and I
need to audit the code to be sure.
