[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 1/3] drivers/vhost/blk: convert virtio_blk_outhdr fields to CPU byte order

hdr->type and hdr->sector are __virtio32 and __virtio64 but were used
without conversion. Since VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 is offered, on a big-endian
host with a little-endian guest the request header was misinterpreted.

Convert both with vhost32_to_cpu()/vhost64_to_cpu() once, when the
request is set up.

Fixes: 1629db092dd7 ("drivers/vhost: vhost-blk accelerator for virtio-blk guests")
Feature: vhost-blk: in-kernel accelerator for virtio-blk guests
