Reading the used->flags could be reordered with avail->idx update.
vhost in kernel disables notifications for the time of packets
receiving, like this:
1. disable notify
2. process packets
3. enable notify
4. has more packets ? goto 1
In case of reordering, virtio driver could read the flags on
step 2 while notifications disabled and update avail->idx after
the step 4, i.e. vhost will exit the loop on step 4 with
notifications enabled, but virtio will not notify.
