Subject[PATCH V2 2/2] vhost_net: conditionally enable tx polling
Date
We always poll tx for socket, this is sub optimal since:

- it will be only used when we exceed the sndbuf of the socket.
- since we use two independent polls for tx and vq, this will slightly
increase the waitqueue traversing time and more important, vhost
could not benefit from commit
9e641bdcfa4ef4d6e2fbaa59c1be0ad5d1551fd5 ("net-tun: restructure
tun_do_read for better sleep/wakeup efficiency") even if we've
stopped rx polling during handle_rx since tx poll were still left in
the waitqueue.

Fix this by conditionally enable tx polling only when -EAGAIN were
met.

Test shows about 8% improvement on guest rx pps.

Before: ~1350000
After: ~1460000
