vhost_net: remove tx polling state
After commit 2b8b328b61c799957a456a5a8dab8cc7dea68575 (vhost_net: handle polling
errors when setting backend), we in fact track the polling state through
poll->wqh, so there's no need to duplicate the work with an extra
vhost_net_polling_state. So this patch removes this and make the code simpler.
This patch also removes the all tx starting/stopping code in tx path according
to Michael's suggestion.
Netperf test shows almost the same result in stream test, but gets improvements
on TCP_RR tests (both zerocopy or copy) especially on low load cases.
Tested between multiqueue kvm guest and external host with two direct
connected 82599s.
