the wake_up_process func is included by spin_lock/unlock in 
vhost_work_queue,
but it could be done outside the spin_lock.
I have test it with kernel 3.0.27 and guest suse11-sp2 using iperf,
the num as below.

Applied and queued for 3.11, thanks.

This patch is malformed because of the wrapped line above.
I've applied this by hand, so just FYI, please see
