virtio: add virtio_detach_element()

During device reset or similar situations a VirtQueueElement needs to be
freed without pushing it onto the used ring or rewinding the virtqueue.
Extract a new function to do this.

Later patches add virtio_detach_element() calls to existing device so
that scatter-gather lists are unmapped and vq->inuse goes back to zero
during device reset.  Currently some devices don't bother and simply
call g_free(elem) which is not a clean way to throw away a
VirtQueueElement.
