[PULL v2 49/53] virtio: remove unused next argument from virtqueue_split_read_next_desc()

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

From: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org>

The 'next' was converted from a local variable to an output parameter
in commit:
  412e0e81b174 ("virtio: handle virtqueue_read_next_desc() errors")

But all the actual uses of the 'i/next' as an output were removed a few
months prior in commit:
  aa570d6fb6bd ("virtio: combine the read of a descriptor")

Remove the unused argument to simplify the code.

Also, adding a comment to the function to describe what it is actually
doing, as it is not obvious that the 'desc' is both an input and an
output argument.
