[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] vhost_net: fix misuse of assert()

[Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

>From assert(3): "assert() is implemented as a macro; if the expression tested
has side-effects, program behavior will be different depending on whether
NDEBUG is defined."

Even if QEMU isn't compiled with NDEBUG, it is bad practice to put bits
with a relevant functionnal meaning in assert().

This is a readability enhancement. The patch does not fix any bug.
