Subject: [PATCH net-next] virtio_net: Disable interrupts if napi_complete_done rescheduled napi

Since commit 39e6c8208d7b ("net: solve a NAPI race") napi has been able
to be rescheduled within napi_complete_done() even in non-busypoll case,
but virtnet_poll() always enabled interrupts before complete, and when
napi was rescheduled within napi_complete_done() it did not disable
interrupts.
This caused more interrupts when event idx is disabled.

According to commit cbdadbbf0c79 ("virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ
processing") we cannot place virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare() after
NAPI_STATE_SCHED is cleared, so disable interrupts again if
napi_complete_done() returned false.

Tested with vhost-user of OVS 2.7 on host, which does not have the event
idx feature.
