Commit a7766ef18b33("virtio_net: disable cb aggressively") enables
virtqueue callback via the following statement:
do {
if (use_napi)
virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq);
free_old_xmit_skbs(sq, false);
} while (use_napi && kick &&
unlikely(!virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed(sq->vq)));
When NAPI is used and kick is false, the callback won't be enabled
here. And when the virtqueue is about to be full, the tx will be
disabled, but we still don't enable tx interrupt which will cause a TX
hang. This could be observed when using pktgen with burst enabled.
TO be consistent with the logic that tries to disable cb only for
NAPI, fixing this by trying to enable delayed callback only when NAPI
is enabled when the queue is about to be full.

The patch is needed for -stable.
Changes since V2:
- try to enabled delayed callback and schedule NAPI instead of try to
poll as when TX NAPI is disabled
Changes since V1:
- enable tx interrupt after we disable TX

This fix works fine with my test case (netdev stream + passt)
