[PATCH 6/6] vhost_net: remove the max pending check

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

We used to limit the max pending DMAs to prevent guest from pinning too many
pages. But this could be removed since:

- We have the sk_wmem_alloc check in both tun/macvtap to do the same work
- This max pending check were almost useless since it was one done when there's
  no new buffers coming from guest. Guest can easily exceeds the limitation.
- We've already check upend_idx != done_idx and switch to non zerocopy then. So
  even if all vq->heads were used, we can still does the packet transmission.

So remove this check completely.
