Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] vhost_net: support in order feature

This makes vhost_net to support in order feature. This is as simple as
use datacopy path when it was negotiated. An alternative is not to
advertise in order when zerocopy is enabled which tends to be
suboptimal consider zerocopy may suffer from e.g HOL issues.
