Chirantan Ekbote b9966c96c1 devices: Remove lifetime parameter from DescriptorChain
The lifetime parameter on the DescriptorChain struct ensures that it
doesn't outlive the GuestMemory that it references.  However, this has
the unfortunate effect that DescriptorChains cannot be sent across
thread boundaries (because they don't have a static lifetime).

Instead, have the DescriptorChain clone the GuestMemory instead.  This
ensures that the DescriptorChain will not outlive the GuestMemory while
also allowing it to be sent across thread boundaries.

dgreid - re-base and modify `next_async` to remove lifetime as well.
