This is useful for any device who wants device specific fields per vq.
For example, tcm_vhost wants a per vq field to track requests which are
in flight on the vq. Also, on top of this we can add patches to move
things like ubufs from vhost.h out to net.c.

After commit 2b8b328b61 (vhost_net: handle polling
errors when setting backend), we in fact track the polling state through
poll->wqh, so there's no need to duplicate the work with an extra
vhost_net_polling_state. So this patch removes this and make the code simpler.
This patch also removes the all tx starting/stopping code in tx path according
to Michael's suggestion.
Netperf test shows almost the same result in stream test, but gets improvements
on TCP_RR tests (both zerocopy or copy) especially on low load cases.
Tested between multiqueue kvm guest and external host with two direct
connected 82599s.

ubuf info allocator uses guest controlled head as an index,
so a malicious guest could put the same head entry in the ring twice,
and we will get two callbacks on the same value.
To fix use upend_idx which is guaranteed to be unique.

Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues:
- vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll,
this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to
add itself to the waitqueue
- userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling
failed.
Solve this by:
- check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value
will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend
After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it
will addressed by the next patch.

Zero copy TX has been around for a while now.
We seem to be down to eliminating theoretical bugs
and performance tuning at this point:
it's probably time to enable it by default so that
most users get the benefit.
Keep the flag around meanwhile so users can experiment
with disabling this if they experience regressions.
I expect that we will remove it in the future.

For short packets zerocopy mode adds overhead
of managing heads which isn't necessary: we
could simly update used ring directly
same as with zerocopy disabled.
Things seem to run a bit faster if we detect
and bypass head management when zcopy isn't used.

When memory map changes, we need to flush outstanding
DMAs as they might in theory reference old memory addresses.
To do this simply stop initiating new DMAs
and wait for ubufs ref count to drop to 0.
Afterwards reset the count back to 1.

vring changes already do a flush internally where appropriate, so we do
not need a second flush.
It's currently not very expensive but a follow-up patch makes flush more
heavy-weight, so remove the extra flush here to avoid regressing
performance if call or kick fds are changed on data path.

These packet counters are used to drive the zercopy
selection heuristic so nothing too bad happens if they are off a bit -
and they are also reset once in a while.
But it's cleaner to clear them when backend is set so that
we start in a known state.

Even when vhost-net is in zero-copy transmit mode,
net core might still decide to copy the skb later
which is somewhat slower than a copy in user
context: data copy overhead is added to the cost of
page pin/unpin. The result is that enabling tx zero copy
option leads to higher CPU utilization for guest to guest
and guest to host traffic.
To fix this, suppress zero copy tx after a given number of
packets triggered late data copy. Re-enable periodically
to detect workload changes.

Currently, we restart tx polling unconditionally when sendmsg()
fails. This would cause unnecessary wakeups of vhost wokers and waste
cpu utlization when evil userspace(guest driver) is able to hit EFAULT or
EINVAL.
The polling is only needed when the socket send buffer were exceeded or not
enough memory. So fix this by restarting polling only when sendmsg() returns
EAGAIN/ENOBUFS.
