[v1] vhost: fix async callback return type define
Checks
Commit Message
From: Patrick Fu <patrick.fu@intel.com>
The async copy device callbacks are used by async APIs to transfer data
and check completion status. Async APIs return the number of packets
successfully processed to the caller applications and no error (negative)
value is allowed for API return value. Thus, negative return values
from async device callbacks don't have meaningful usage, while adding
overhead in checking the return value validity. This patch change the
callback return values from "int" to "uint32_t" to get aligned with
async API definition.
Fixes: 78639d54563a ("vhost: introduce async enqueue registration API")

let's remove on success as in case of failure it will still be the
number of descriptors process, i.e. 0.

I can fixup the comments while applying if you agree with it.

Yes, I think removing "on success" is correct there.
