We used to have vhost_exceeds_weight() for vhost-net to:

- prevent vhost kthread from hogging the cpu
- balance the time spent between TX and RX

This function could be useful for vsock and scsi as well. So move it
to vhost.c. Device must specify a weight which counts the number of
requests, or it can also specific a byte_weight which counts the
number of bytes that has been processed.

CVE-2019-3900

(backported from commit e82b9b07)
[tyhicks: Backport to Xenial:
 - Adjust handle_tx() instead of handle_tx_{copy,zerocopy}() due to
   missing commit 0d20bdf3 ("vhost_net: split out datacopy logic")
 - Considerable context adjustments throughout the patch due to a lack
   of missing the iov_limit member of the vhost_dev struct which was
   added later in commit b46a0bf7 ("vhost: fix OOB in get_rx_bufs()")
 - Context adjustment in call to vhost_log_write() in hunk #3 of net.c due to
   missing and unneeded commit cc5e7107 ("vhost: log dirty page correctly")
 - Context adjustment in hunk #3 of net.c due to using break instead of goto
   out
 - Context adjustment in hunk #4 of net.c due to missing and unneeded commit
   c67df11f ("vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array")
 - Don't patch vsock.c since Xenial doesn't have vhost vsock support
 - Adjust context in vhost_dev_init() to account for different local variables
 - Adjust context in struct vhost_dev to account for different struct members]
