Subject: [ 17/23] vhost: zerocopy: poll vq in zerocopy callback

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

commit c70aa540c7a9f67add11ad3161096fb95233aa2e upstream.

We add used and signal guest in worker thread but did not poll the virtqueue
during the zero copy callback. This may lead the missing of adding and
signalling during zerocopy. Solve this by polling the virtqueue and let it
wakeup the worker during callback.
