[PATCH V4 2/2] virtio-net: reset virtqueue affinity when doing cpu hotplug

[Wanlong Gao]

Add a cpu notifier to virtio-net, so that we can reset the
virtqueue affinity if the cpu hotplug happens. It improve
the performance through enabling or disabling the virtqueue
affinity after doing cpu hotplug.
