Hi Miklos,

We are already handling full virtqueue by waiting a bit and retrying.
I think TODO in virtio_fs_enqueue_req() is stale. Caller already
handles virtqueue full situation by retrying.

Havind said that, this could be improved by using some sort of wait
queue or completion privimitve.

Thanks
