[161/272] virtio: console: Wake up outvq on host notifications

[Greg KH]

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2770c5ea501be69989a7acf54ec4cb3554c47191 upstream.

The outvq needs to be woken up on host notifications so that buffers
consumed by the host can be reclaimed, outvq freed, and application
writes may proceed again.

The need for this is now finally noticed when I have qemu patches ready
to use nonblocking IO and flow control.
