If last avail idx is not equal to cached avail idx, we're sure there's
still available buffers in the virtqueue so there's no need to re-read
avail idx. So let's skip this to avoid unnecessary userspace memory
access and memory barrier. Pktgen test show about 3% improvement on rx
pps.

The netvsc part is already in net-next. This patch is not needed.
The part that removes the per-channel state can be in another patch.

Setting the IF flag can cause an VM exit. So we should avoid touching
the IF flag until absolutely necessary. This patch change the way
the paravirt arch_local_irq_restore() works by checking the previous
flags value and call arch_local_irq_enable() only if the IF flag was
set previously.
