This patch tries to poll for new added tx buffer or socket receive
queue for a while at the end of tx/rx processing. The maximum time
spent on polling were specified through a new kind of vring ioctl.

<title>vhost: rename vhost_init_used()</title>

Looking at how callers use this, maybe we should just rename init_used
to vhost_vq_init_access. The _used suffix was a hint that we
access the vq used ring. But maybe what callers care about is
that it must be called after access_ok.

Also, this function manipulates the vq-&gt;is_le field which isn't related
to the vq used ring.

This patch simply renames vhost_init_used() to vhost_vq_init_access() as
suggested by Michael.

No behaviour change.

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

The 2 that we use for copy_to_iter comes from sizeof(u16),
it used to be that way before the iov iter update.
Fix it up, making it obvious the size of stack access
is right.

Recent iterator-related changes in vhost made it
harder to follow the logic fixing up the header.
In fact, the fixup always happens at the same
offset: sizeof(virtio_net_hdr): sometimes the
fixup iterator is updated by copy_to_iter,
sometimes-by iov_iter_advance.

Rearrange code to make this obvious.

<title>vhost_net: fix wrong iter offset when setting number of buffers</title>

In commit ba7438aed924 ("vhost: don't bother copying iovecs in
handle_rx(), kill memcpy_toiovecend()"), we advance iov iter fixup
sizeof(struct virtio_net_hdr) bytes and fill the number of buffers
after doing the socket recvmsg(). This work well but was broken after
commit 6e03f896b52c ("Merge
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net") which tries
to advance sizeof(struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf). It will fill the
number of buffers at the wrong place. This patch fixes this.

Conflicts:

	net/core/dev.c

The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.

In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.

In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.

In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.
