virtio_net: move txq wakeups under tx q lock
We currently check num_free outside tx q lock which is unsafe: new packets can arrive meanwhile and there won't be space in the queue. Thus a spurious queue wakeup causing overhead and even packet drops. Move the check under the lock to fix that. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
