[PATCH] vhost_net: remove tx polling state

After commit 2b8b328b61c799957a456a5a8dab8cc7dea68575 (vhost_net: handle polling
errors when setting backend), we in fact track the polling state through
poll->wqh, so there's no need to duplicate the work with an extra
vhost_net_polling_state. So this patch removes this and make the code simpler.

Can I get an ACK or two from some VHOST folks?

I'd prefer a more radical approach, since I think it can be even
simpler: tap and macvtap backends both only send events when tx queue
overruns which should almost never happen.

So let's just start polling when VQ is enabled
drop all poll_start/stop calls on data path.

The optimization was written for packet socket backend but I know of no
one caring about performance of that one that much.
Needs a bit of perf testing to make sure I didn't miss anything though
but it's not 3.9 material anyway so there's no rush.
