Firstly, it isn't necessary to hold lock of vblk->vq_lock
when notifying hypervisor about queued I/O.
Secondly, virtqueue_notify() will cause world switch and
it may take long time on some hypervisors(such as, qemu-arm),
so it isn't good to hold the lock and block other vCPUs.
On arm64 quad core VM(qemu-kvm), the patch can increase I/O
performance a lot with VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX enabled:
- without the patch: 14K IOPS
- with the patch: 34K IOPS
