vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support

>From: Shirley Ma <[email protected]> This adds experimental zero copy support in vhost-net, disabled by default. To enable, set experimental_zcopytx module option to 1. This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished. This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two buffer indices are used for this purpose. The vhost-net device passes the userspace buffers info to lower device skb through message control. DMA done status check and guest notification are handled by handle_tx: in the worst case is all buffers in the vq are in pending/done status, so we need to notify guest to release DMA done buffers first before we get any new buffers from the vq. One known problem is that if the guest stops submitting buffers, buffers might never get used until some further action, e.g. device reset. This does not seem to affect linux guests.
