Because if rte_vhost_enqueue_burst() returns 0, the caller is likely to
drop the packets. This is what happens for example with OVS:

static void
__netdev_dpdk_vhost_send(struct netdev *netdev, int qid,
                          struct dp_packet **pkts, int cnt)
{
...
     do {
         int vhost_qid = qid * VIRTIO_QNUM + VIRTIO_RXQ;
         unsigned int tx_pkts;

         tx_pkts = rte_vhost_enqueue_burst(vid, vhost_qid, cur_pkts, cnt);
         if (OVS_LIKELY(tx_pkts)) {
             /* Packets have been sent.*/
             cnt -= tx_pkts;
             /* Prepare for possible retry.*/
             cur_pkts = &cur_pkts[tx_pkts];
         } else {
             /* No packets sent - do not retry.*/
             break;
         }
     } while (cnt && (retries++ <= VHOST_ENQ_RETRY_NUM));
