This is guest TX send notification when vhost enables notification.

In TCP_STREAM test, vhost exits from reaching NAPI WEIGHT, it rarely
enables the notification, vhost re-enters handle_tx from NAPI poll, so
guest doesn't do much kick_notify.

In multiple TCP_RR test, seems vhost exits from nothing to send in TX vq
very often, so it enables notification most of the time.
