vhost_scsi_do_evt_work() uses vq->iov[out] after vhost_get_vq_desc()
without checking that the descriptor chain contains an input segment.
vq->iov has UIO_MAXIOV entries (1024).  A chain of 1024 output-only
descriptors yields out == 1024 and in == 0, so the length check reads
one past the end of the array.

With a host-side harness that sets VHOST_SCSI_SET_EVENTS_MISSED and
kicks an event queue filled with 1024 OUT descriptors, UBSAN reports:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/vhost/scsi.c:611:14
  index 1024 is out of range for type 'iovec [1024]'

  Call Trace:

   </TASK>

Require at least one input descriptor before indexing iov[out], and
treat a pure-output chain as a missed event like other invalid event
buffers.
