[PATCH v2 2/5] virtio-blk: clarify that there is at least 1 virtqueue

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

It is not possible to instantiate a virtio-blk device with 0 virtqueues.
The following check is located in ->realize():

  if (!conf->num_queues) {
      error_setg(errp, "num-queues property must be larger than 0");
      return;
  }

Later on we access s->vq_aio_context[0] under the assumption that there
is as least one virtqueue. Hanna Czenczek <hreitz@redhat.com> noted that
it would help to show that the array index is already valid.

Add an assertion to document that s->vq_aio_context[0] is always
safe...and catch future code changes that break this assumption.
