Jason Wang 2a59b04bcd vhost: introduce vhost_exceeds_weight()
commit e82b9b0727 upstream.

We used to have vhost_exceeds_weight() for vhost-net to:

- prevent vhost kthread from hogging the cpu
- balance the time spent between TX and RX

This function could be useful for vsock and scsi as well. So move it
to vhost.c. Device must specify a weight which counts the number of
requests, or it can also specific a byte_weight which counts the
number of bytes that has been processed.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Drop changes to vhost_vsock
 - In vhost_net, both Tx modes are handled in one loop in handle_tx()
 - Adjust context]
