In the handle_tx, the busypoll will vhost_net_disable/enable_vq
because we have poll the sock. This can improve performance.
This is suggested by Toshiaki Makita and Jason Wang.
If the rx handle is scheduled, we will not enable vq, because it's
not necessary. We do it not in last 'else' because if we receive
the data, but can't queue the rx handle(rx vring is full), then we
enable the vq to avoid case: guest receives the data, vring is not
full then guest can get more data, but vq is disabled, rx vq can't
be wakeup to receive more data.
Topology:
[Host] ->linux bridge -> tap vhost-net ->[Guest]
TCP_STREAM (netperf):
* Without the patch: 37598.20 Mbps, 3.43 us mean latency
* With the patch: 38035.39 Mbps, 3.37 us mean latency
