vhost: lockless enqueuing
We use spinlock to synchronize the work list now which may cause unnecessary contentions. So this patch switch to use llist to remove this contention. Pktgen tests shows about 5% improvement: Before: ~1300000 pps After: ~1370000 pps Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
