vhost: introduce vhost_exceeds_weight()



mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.2-rc2
commit e82b9b07
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 13690
CVE: CVE-2019-3900

-------------------------------------------------

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.
