If virtqueue_get_buf() returns with a NULL pointer it should be verified
if the virtqueue is broken, in order to avoid loop calling cpu_relax().

This lets the transport do endian conversion if necessary, and insulates
the drivers from the difference.

Most drivers can use the simple helpers virtio_cread() and virtio_cwrite().

The freeze and restore functions defined in virtio drivers are used
for suspend and hibernate, so CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is more appropriate than
CONFIG_PM. This patch replace all CONFIG_PM with CONFIG_PM_SLEEP for
virtio drivers that implement freeze and restore callbacks.

The next commit gets conflicts because it relies on patches which were
cc:stable and thus had to be merged into Linus' tree before the coming
merge window.  So pull in master now.

Port unplug can race with close() in port_fops_release().
port_fops_release() already takes the necessary locks, ensure
unplug_port() does that too.

<title>virtio: console: return -ENODEV on all read operations after unplug</title>

If a port gets unplugged while a user is blocked on read(), -ENODEV is
returned.  However, subsequent read()s returned 0, indicating there's no
host-side connection (but not indicating the device went away).

This also happened when a port was unplugged and the user didn't have
any blocking operation pending.  If the user didn't monitor the SIGIO
signal, they won't have a chance to find out if the port went away.

Fix by returning -ENODEV on all read()s after the port gets unplugged.
write() already behaves this way.
