drain_eth_rx() uses rte_vhost_avail_entries() to calculate
the available entries to determine if a retry is required.
However, this function only works with split rings, and
calculating packed rings will return the wrong value and cause
unnecessary retries resulting in a significant performance penalty.

This patch uses the difference between tx burst and rx burst
as a retry condition, and introduces enqueue_pkts() to reduce
code duplication.

Fixes: 4ecf22e356 ("vhost: export device id as the interface to applications")
