virtio_disable_cb is currently a nop for split ring with event index.
This is because it used to be always called from a callback when we know
device won't trigger more events until we update the index. However,
now that we run with interrupts enabled a lot we also poll without a
callback so that is different: disabling callbacks will help reduce the
number of spurious interrupts.
Further, if using event index with a packed ring, and if being called
from a callback, we actually do disable interrupts which is unnecessary.
Fix both issues by tracking whenever we get a callback. If that is
the case disabling interrupts with event index can be a nop.
If not the case disable interrupts. Note: with a split ring
there's no explicit "no interrupts" value. For now we write
a fixed value so our chance of triggering an interupt
is 1/ring size. It's probably better to write something
related to the last used index there to reduce the chance
even further. For now I'm keeping it simple.

For this patch set, we can do without this patch. So doest this patch optimize virtqueue_disable_cb() by reducing a modification of vring_used_event(&vq-> split.vring)? Or I miss something.
