This patch fixes a compilation issue met with GCC on

GCC 12 (it is worth detailing, since I and Thomas hit the same issue
on some other cross compiling toolchains using GCC 12).

Oops, I did the changes you asked me off-list, but forgot to format
the patch again!

Posting v2.

It happens because the compiler assumes that 'size'
variable in vhost_enqueue_async_packed could wrap to 0 since
'size' is uint32_t and pkt->pkt_len too.

In practice, it would never happen since 'pkt->pkt_len' is
unlikely to be close to UINT32_MAX, but let's just change
'size' to uint64_t to make the compiler happy without
having to add runtime checks.
