Subject: [PATCH v4] virtio_net: suppress cpu stall when free_unused_bufs

For multi-queue and large ring-size use case, the following error
occurred when free_unused_bufs:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU.

Fixes: 986a4f4d452d ("virtio_net: multiqueue support")
Signed-off-by: Wenliang Wang <wangwenliang.1995@...edance.com>
