virtio-pci: Disable virtio-ioeventfd when !CONFIG_IOTHREAD

Browse Source 
It is not possible to use virtio-ioeventfd when building without an I/O
thread.  We rely on a signal to kick us out of vcpu execution.  Timers
and AIO use SIGALRM and SIGUSR2 respectively.  Unfortunately eventfd
does not support O_ASYNC (SIGIO) so eventfd cannot be used in a signal
driven manner.
