Albert Huang 6c0b057cec virtio_ring: don't update event idx on get_buf
In virtio_net, if we disable napi_tx, when we trigger a tx interrupt,
the vq->event_triggered will be set to true. It is then never reset
until we explicitly call virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed or
virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare.

If we disable the napi_tx, virtqueue_enable_cb* will only be called when
the tx ring is getting relatively empty.

Since event_triggered is true, VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT or
VRING_PACKED_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE will not be set. As a result we update
vring_used_event(&vq->split.vring) or vq->packed.vring.driver->off_wrap
every time we call virtqueue_get_buf_ctx. This causes more interrupts.

To summarize:
1) event_triggered was set to true in vring_interrupt()
2) after this nothing will happen in virtqueue_disable_cb() so
   VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT is not set in avail_flags_shadow
3) virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_split() will still think the cb is enabled
   and then it will publish a new event index

To fix:
update VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT or VRING_PACKED_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE in
the vq when we call virtqueue_disable_cb even when event_triggered is
true.

Tested with iperf:
iperf3 tcp stream:
vm1 -----------------> vm2
vm2 just receives tcp data stream from vm1, and sends acks to vm1,
there are many tx interrupts in vm2.
with the patch applied there are just a few tx interrupts.

v2->v3:
-update the interrupt disable flag even with the event_triggered is set,
-instead of checking whether event_triggered is set in
-virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_{packed/split}, will cause the drivers  which have
-not called virtqueue_{enable/disable}_cb to miss notifications.

v3->v4:
-remove change for
-"if (vq->packed.event_flags_shadow != VRING_PACKED_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE)"
-in virtqueue_disable_cb_packed
