vhost-net: restart tx poll on sk_sndbuf full
guest to remote communication with vhost net sometimes stops until guest driver is restarted. This happens when we get guest kick precisely when the backend send queue is full, as a result handle_tx() returns without polling backend. This patch fixes this by restarting tx poll on this condition. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <samudrala@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Tested-by: Tom Lendacky <toml@us.ibm.com>
