Now that IO vectors iterator have been simplified, the
rte_vhost_async_desc struct only contains a pointer on
the iterator array stored in the async metadata.

This patch removes it, and pass directly the iterators
array pointer to the transfer_data callback. Doing that,
we avoid declaring the descriptor array in the stack, and
also avoid the cost of filling it.
