vhost tx retries can provide some mitigation against

size for an interface, but on the other hand when a system
is fully loaded those extra cycles retrying could mean
packets are dropped elsewhere.

Up to now max vhost retries have been hardcoded, which meant
no tuning and no way to disable for debugging to see if extra
cycles spent retrying resulted in rx drops on some other
interface.

Add an option to change the max retries, with a value of
0 effectively disabling vhost tx retries.

No additional comments to Flavio’s for this patch. So will wait for your v3 and ack it.
