vhost: vsock: add weight support
This patch will check the weight and exit the loop if we exceeds the weight. This is useful for preventing vsock kthread from hogging cpu which is guest triggerable. The weight can help to avoid starving the request from on direction while another direction is being processed. The value of weight is picked from vhost-net. This addresses CVE-2019-3900.
