vhost: low performance in interrupt mode in some cases
When vhost and another interface, say tap, are configured for interrupt mode, performance number may be very low from vhost. Further analysis discovers that when vhost posts an interrupt to the RX infra, there is a 10 msec delay in waking up its input routine. The delay is due to vhost posts the interrupt from the main thread which tries to wake up the worker thread. The fix is for vhost to move the posting interrupt call to the corresponding input worker thread by calling vnet_hw_if_set_rx_queue_file_index() to set it up. While at it, streamline the function vhost_user_kickfd_read_ready() since it will be called from the worker thread.
