virtio: handle interrupts after callbacks turned off
Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send interrupts. But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt routine. Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never run simultanously on multiple CPUs).
