Subject: [PATCH 10/28] spice-qemu-char.c: remove intermediate buffer

BZ: 672191
upstream: not submitted (explained below)

virtio-serial's buffer is valid when it calls us, and we don't
access it otherwise: vmc_read is only called in response to wakeup,
or else we set datalen=0 and throttle. Then vmc_read is called back,
we return 0 (not accessing the buffer) and set the timer to unthrottle.

Also make datalen int and not ssize_t (to fit spice_chr_write signature).

This relied on the previous patch that introduces throttling, which
can't go upstream right now as explained in that patch.
