Kohei Enju e08a9fac5c vhost_net: fix sleeping with preempt-disabled in vhost_net_busy_poll()
syzbot reported "sleeping function called from invalid context" in
vhost_net_busy_poll().

Commit 0308813724 ("vhost_net: basic polling support") introduced a
busy-poll loop and preempt_{disable,enable}() around it, where each
iteration calls a sleepable function inside the loop.

The purpose of disabling preemption was to keep local_clock()-based
timeout accounting on a single CPU, rather than as a requirement of
busy-poll itself:

From this perspective, migrate_disable() is sufficient here, so replace
preempt_disable() with migrate_disable(), avoiding sleepable accesses
from a preempt-disabled context.
