We used to set vring call fd unconditionally even if guest driver does
not use MSIX for this vritqueue at all. This will cause lots of
unnecessary userspace access and other checks for drivers does not use
interrupt at all (e.g virtio-net pmd). So check and clean vring call
fd if guest does not use any vector for this virtqueue at
all.
Perf diffs (on rx) shows lots of cpus wasted on vhost_signal() were saved:
#
28.12% -27.82% [vhost] [k] vhost_signal
14.44% -1.69% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_generic_string
7.05% +1.53% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __free_page_frag
6.51% +5.53% [vhost] [k] vhost_get_vq_desc
...
Pktgen tests shows 15.8% improvement on rx pps and 6.5% on tx pps.
Before: RX 2.08Mpps TX 1.35Mpps
After: RX 2.41Mpps TX 1.44Mpps
