I think I may have found a possible bug here. This reinit_completion() must
happen before we call virtio_i2c_send_reqs(). It is certainly possible (surely
in corner cases) that virtio_i2c_msg_done() may get called right after
virtio_i2c_send_reqs() and before we were able to call reinit_completion(). And
in that case we will never see the completion happen at all.

I may have misread this. Can the actually start before virtqueue_kick() is
called ?
I didn't write it properly here. I wanted to say,

"Can the _transfer_ actually start before virtqueue_kick() is called ?"
  

It can't start until the virtqueue_kick() is called. Call virtqueue_kick 
then wait.
