Currently, the vhost-net obtains a batch descriptors/sk_buffs from the
ptr_ring and enqueue the batch descriptors/sk_buffs to the virtqueue'queue,
and then consumes the descriptors/sk_buffs from the virtqueue'queue in
sequence. As a result, TUN does not know whether the batch descriptors have
been used up, and thus does not know when to return the batch descriptors.

So, I think it's reasonable that when vhost-net checks ptr_ring is empty,
it calls peek_len to get new xsk's descs and return the descriptors.
