[PATCH 6/6] vhost_net: don't poll on -EFAULT

[Jason Wang]

Currently, we restart tx polling unconditionally when sendmsg()
fails. This would cause unnecessary wakeups of vhost wokers as it's
only needed when the socket send buffer were exceeded. Fix this by
restart the tx polling only when sendmsg() returns value other than
-EFAULT.
