With the implementation of napi-tx in virtio driver, we clean tx
descriptors from rx napi handler, for the purpose of reducing tx
complete interrupts. But this could introduce a race where tx complete
interrupt has been raised, but the handler found there is no work to do
because we have done the work in the previous rx interrupt handler.
This could lead to the following warning msg:

"irqpoll" option)

This patch adds a new param to struct vring_virtqueue, and we set it for
tx virtqueues if napi-tx is enabled, to suppress the warning in such
case.

Fixes: 7b0411ef4aa6 ("virtio-net: clean tx descriptors from rx napi")
Reported-by: Rick Jones <redacted>
Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <redacted>

This description does not make sense to me.

irq X: nobody cared
only triggers after an interrupt is unhandled repeatedly.

So something causes a storm of useless tx interrupts here.

Let's find out what it was please. What you are doing is
just preventing linux from complaining.
