virtio_net: disable cb when NAPI is busy-polled

Browse source

When busy-poll is active, napi_schedule_prep() returns false in
virtqueue_napi_schedule(), so virtqueue_disable_cb() is skipped.
The device may keep firing irqs until reaches virtqueue_napi_complete().
Under load (received == budget), it will lead to a large number
of spurious interrupts.

Fix it by disabling the callback at the virtnet_poll() entry.
This keeps the callback off while we poll and it is re-enabled by
virtqueue_napi_complete() when going idle.
