[RFC PATCH net 2/3] virtio-net: allow usage of vrings smaller than MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2

At the moment, if a network device uses vrings with less than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 entries, the device won't be functional.

The following condition vq->num_free >= 2 + MAX_SKB_FRAGS will always
evaluate to false, leading to TX timeouts.

This patch introduces a new variable, single_pkt_max_descs, that holds
the max number of descriptors we may need to handle a single packet.

This patch also detects the small vring during probe, blocks some
features that can't be used with small vrings, and fails probe,
leading to a reset and features re-negotiation.

Features that can't be used with small vrings:
GRO features (VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_*):
When we use small vrings, we may not have enough entries in the ring to
chain page size buffers and form a 64K buffer.
So we may need to allocate 64k of continuous memory, which may be too
much when the system is stressed.

This patch also fixes the MTU size in small vring cases to be up to the
default one, 1500B.

and then it should clear VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU?

worth checking that all these layout changes don't push useful things to
a different cache line. can you add that analysis?

I see confusiong here wrt whether some rings are "small"? all of them?
some rx rings? some tx rings? names should make it clear.
also do we really need bool svring? can't we just check single_pkt_max_descs
all the time?

I see even if only some rings are too small we force everything to use
small ones. Wouldn't it be better to just disable small ones in this
case? That would not need a reset.
