Initial version of this series did merge out-of-order mergeable
and non-mergeable receive paths, but Intel STV team highlighted
some performance regression when using multiqueue with two cores
enqueueing descs on host, while a single core dequeues the
two queues.
I didn't manage to close the performance gap, so I decided to
give-up this refactoring. But while trying to optimize, I reworked
the meargeable function so that it looks like the in-order one.
I.e. descriptors are now dequeued in batches, so are descriptors
refilled. Doing that, I measure a perfromance gain of 6% when doing
rxonly microbenchmark with two cores on host, one in guest.
The other two patches of the series haven't been modified.

net/virtio: inline refill and offload helpers
net/virtio: add non-mergeable support to in-order path
net/virtio: improve batching in mergeable path
