x86/HVM: properly reject "indirect" VRAM writes

While ->count will only be different from 1 for "indirect" (data in
guest memory) accesses, it being 1 does not exclude the request being an
"indirect" one. Check both to be on the safe side, and bring the ->count
part also in line with what ioreq_send_buffered() actually refuses to
handle.
