virtio-pmem: ignore empty queue notifications

virtio_pmem_flush() treats a NULL return from virtqueue_pop() as a fatal
error and calls virtio_error(), which puts the device into NEEDS_RESET.

However, virtqueue handlers can be invoked when no element is available,
so an empty queue should be handled as a benign no-op.

With a Linux guest this avoids spurious NEEDS_RESET and the resulting
-EIO propagation (e.g. EXT4 journal abort and remount-ro).
