virtio: use defer_call() in virtio_irqfd_notify()
virtio-blk and virtio-scsi invoke virtio_irqfd_notify() to send Used Buffer Notifications from an IOThread. This involves an eventfd write(2) syscall. Calling this repeatedly when completing multiple I/O requests in a row is wasteful. Use the defer_call() API to batch together virtio_irqfd_notify() calls made during thread pool (aio=threads), Linux AIO (aio=native), and io_uring (aio=io_uring) completion processing. Behavior is unchanged for emulated devices that do not use defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() since defer_call() immediately invokes the callback when called outside a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() region. fio rw=randread bs=4k iodepth=64 numjobs=8 IOPS increases by ~9% with a single IOThread and 8 vCPUs. iodepth=1 decreases by ~1% but this could be noise. Detailed performance data and configuration specifics are available here: https://gitlab.com/stefanha/virt-playbooks/-/tree/blk_io_plug-irqfd This duplicates the BH that virtio-blk uses for batching. The next commit will remove it.
