[PATCH] iommufd/driver: Fix counter initialization for counted_by annotation

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

One of the requirements for counted_by annotations is that the counter
member must be initialized before the first reference to the
flexible-array member.

Move the vevent->data_len = data_len; initialization to before the
first access to flexible array vevent->event_data.
