[PATCH RFC v5 net-next 2/6] virtio_ring: try to disable event index callbacks in virtqueue_disable_cb()

Currently, we do nothing to prevent the callbacks in
virtqueue_disable_cb() when event index is used. This may cause
spurious interrupts which may damage the performance. This patch tries
to publish avail event as the used even to prevent the callbacks.
