Prior to this change, the vhost_user_fill_msg_region function filled out all elements of the VhostUserMemoryRegion struct except the mmap_offset.
This function is often called on uninitialized structs, which are then copied into VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE and VHOST_USER_ADD/REM_MEM_REG messages. In some cases, where the mmap_offset was not needed, it was left uninitialized, causing QEMU to send the backend uninitialized data, which Coverity flagged as a series of issues. This change augments the vhost_user_fill_msg_region API, adding a mmap_offset paramenter, forcing the caller to initialize mmap_offset.
