Patch 06b12970174 ("virtio-net: fix network stall under load")
added double-check to test whether the available buffer size
can satisfy the request or not, in case the guest has added
some buffers to the avail ring simultaneously after the first
check.
It will be lucky if the available buffer size becomes okay
after the double-check, then the host can send the packet to
the guest. If the buffer size still can't satisfy the request,
even if the guest has added some buffers, notify the guest
with the latest available idx seen by the host, similiar to
the action taken by the host after the first check.
