We currently poll all available queues based on the max queue count
exchanged with the vhost peer and rely on the vhost library in DPDK to
check the vring status beneath.
This can lead to some overhead when we have a lot of unused queues.

To enhance the situation, we can skip the disabled queues.
On rxq notifications, we make use of the netdev's change_seq number so
that the pmd thread main loop can cache the queue state periodically.
