Carlos López 6cf13d9d01 libvhost-user: check for NULL when allocating a virtqueue element
Check the return value for malloc(), avoiding a NULL pointer
dereference, and propagate error in function callers.

Found with GCC 13 and -fanalyzer:

../subprojects/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.c: In function ‘virtqueue_alloc_element’:
../subprojects/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.c:2556:19: error: dereference of possibly-NULL ‘elem’ [CWE-690] [-Werror=analyzer-possible-null-dereference]
