If the rx ring is completely empty, then the device may never fire an rx
interrupt. Unfortunately, the rx interrupt is what triggers populating the
rx ring with fresh buffers, so this will cause networking to lock up.
This patch replenishes the skb in recv descriptor as soon as it is
peeled off while processing rx completions. If the skb/buffer
allocation fails, existing one is recycled and the packet in hand is
dropped. This way none of the RX desc is ever left empty, thus avoiding
starvation

When receiving packets from another guest on the same hypervisor, it's
generally possible to receive large packets because no segmentation is
necessary and these packets are handled by LRO. However, when doing
routing or bridging we must disable LRO and lose this benefit. In
these cases GRO can still be used and it is very effective because the
packets which are segmented in the hypervisor are received very close
together and can easily be merged.

flush_scheduled_work() is on its way out. This patch contains simple
conversions to replace flush_scheduled_work() usage with direct
cancels and flushes.
Directly cancel the used works on driver detach and flush them in
other cases.
The conversions are mostly straight forward and the only dangers are,
* Forgetting to cancel/flush one or more used works.
* Cancelling when a work should be flushed (ie. the work must be
executed once scheduled whether the driver is detaching or not).
I've gone over the changes multiple times but it would be much
appreciated if you can review with the above points in mind.
