Merge branch 'vhost_net-rx-batch-dequeuing'

Jason Wang says:

====================
vhost_net rx batch dequeuing

This series tries to implement rx batching for vhost-net. This is done
by batching the dequeuing from skb_array which was exported by
underlayer socket and pass the sbk back through msg_control to finish
userspace copying. This is also the requirement for more batching
implemention on rx path.

Tests shows at most 7.56% improvment bon rx pps on top of batch
zeroing and no obvious changes for TCP_STREAM/TCP_RR result.

Please review.

Thanks

Changes from V4:
- drop batch zeroing patch
- renew the performance numbers
- move skb pointer array out of vhost_net structure

Changes from V3:
- add batch zeroing patch to fix the build warnings

Changes from V2:
- rebase to net-next HEAD
- use unconsume helpers to put skb back on releasing
- introduce and use vhost_net internal buffer helpers
- renew performance numbers on top of batch zeroing

Changes from V1:
- switch to use for() in __ptr_ring_consume_batched()
- rename peek_head_len_batched() to fetch_skbs()
- use skb_array_consume_batched() instead of
  skb_array_consume_batched_bh() since no consumer run in bh
- drop the lockless peeking patch since skb_array could be resized, so
  it's not safe to call lockless one
