Split virtqueue_kick() call into virtqueue_kick_prepare(), which requires serialization, and virtqueue_notify(), which does not. Move the virtqueue_notify() call out of the critical section protected by the queue lock. This avoids triggering a vmexit while holding the lock and thereby fixes a rather bad spinlock contention.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
