Subject: [PATCH 1/1] VSOCK: remove more space available check filling TX vq

From: Gerard Garcia <ggarcia@...c.uab.cat>

Remove unnecessary use of enable/disable callback notifications
and the incorrect more space available check.

The virtio_transport_tx_work handles when the TX virtqueue
has more buffers available.
