e78e34b36a vhost_user_blk: Make DiskFile sharable across threads
The DiskFile will need to be shared across multiple threads when running
multiple queues across these threads. That's why it needs to be put
inside an Arc. The reason for the Mutex is because execute() expects a
mutable object implementing Read + Write + Seek. Unfortunately, this
create a contention point as the object needs to be locked from each
thread, reducing the performance gain we will get with multiple threads.

The need for an immutable object would solve this problem, and it will
be addressed later through follow up patches.

5c06b7f862 vhost_user_block: Implement optional static polling
Actively polling the virtqueue significantly reduces the latency of
each I/O operation, at the expense of using more CPU time. This
features is specially useful when using low-latency devices (SSD,
NVMe) as the backend.

This change implements static polling. When a request arrives after
being idle, vhost_user_block will keep checking the virtqueue for new
requests, until POLL_QUEUE_US (50us) has passed without finding one.

POLL_QUEUE_US is defined to be 50us, based on the current latency of
enterprise SSDs (< 30us) and the overhead of the emulation.

This feature is enabled by default, and can be disabled by using the
"poll_queue" parameter of "block-backend".

This is a test using null_blk as a backend for the image, with the
following parameters:

 - null_blk gb=20 nr_devices=1 irqmode=2 completion_nsec=0 no_sched=1

0e4e27ea9d vhost_user_block: Make use of the EVENT_IDX feature
Now that vhost_user_backend and vm-virtio do support EVENT_IDX, use it
in vhost_user_block to reduce the number of notifications sent between
the driver and the device.

This is specially useful when using active polling on the virtqueue,
as it'll be implemented by a future patch.

This is a snapshot of kvm_stat while generating ~60K IOPS with fio on
the guest without EVENT_IDX:

 Event                                         Total %Total CurAvg/s
 kvm_entry                                    393454   20.3    62494

 kvm_halt_poll_ns                                 24    0.0	   3

And this is the snapshot while doing the same thing with EVENT_IDX:

 kvm_apic_ipi                                   1894    1.4      251

 kvm_msi_set_irq                                 701    0.5	  69
 kvm_fast_mmio                                   238    0.2        4
 kvm_halt_poll_ns                                 50    0.0        1

 kvm_page_fault                                    4    0.0        0

It can be clearly appreciated how the number of vm exits per second,
specially the ones related to notifications (kvm_fast_mmio and
kvm_msi_set_irq) is drastically lower.
