Subject: [PATCH] vhost-net: add time limitation for tx polling

handle_tx() will delay rx for a long time when busy tx polling udp packets
with short length(ie: 1byte udp payload), because setting VHOST_NET_WEIGHT
takes into account only sent-bytes but no time. It's not fair for handle_rx(),
so needs to limit max time of tx polling.
