This allows the vhost device to batch the setup of all its host notifiers.
This significantly reduces the device starting time, e.g. the time spend
on enabling notifiers reduce from 376ms to 9.1ms for a VM with 64 vCPUs
and 3 vhost-vDPA generic devices (vdpa_sim_blk, 64vq per device)

Could we 'break' here, ...

              return r;
          }
      }

      return 0;

... and return 'r' here?

  }

Otherwise LGTM.
