vhost: introduce vhost_exceeds_weight()
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.
