We don't wakeup the virtqueue if the first byte of pending iova range

virtqueue to wait for IOTLB updating forever. Fixing by correct the
check and wake up the virtqueue in this case.

Without this patch, this command will trigger the IO hang merely every
time from host to guest:

  netperf -H 1.2.3.4 -l 5 -t TCP_RR -- -b 100

After applying, I can run it 10 times continuously without a problem.
