So even virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() was used in start_xmit(). This can
move used index backwards to trigger unnecessary interrupts.

I think we'd better keep this. Since it may the tx skb freeing not
totally depends on the tx interrupt, delayed interrupt may work better
without damage the latency.
