Subject: [PATCH V2 0/4] Prevent vhost kthread from hogging CPU

Hi:

This series try to prevent a guest triggerable CPU hogging through
vhost kthread. This is done by introducing and checking the weight

vsock and virtio-net. Only compile test is done for vhost-scsi.

Please review.

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.
