Revert "virtio: turn vq->notification into a nested counter"

This reverts commit aff8fd18f1786fc5af259a9bc0077727222f51ca.

Both virtio-net and virtio-crypto do not balance
virtio_queue_set_notification() enable and disable calls.  This makes
the notifications_disabled counter unreliable and Doug Goldstein
reported the following assertion failure:

  #3  0x00007ffff44d1c62 in __GI___assert_fail (
      assertion=assertion@entry=0x555555ae8e8a "vq->notification_disabled > 0",

      line=line@entry=215,

      "virtio_queue_set_notification") at assert.c:101
  #4  0x00005555557f25d6 in virtio_queue_set_notification (vq=0x55555666aa90,
      enable=enable@entry=1) at /home/doug/work/qemu/hw/virtio/virtio.c:215
  #5  0x00005555557dc311 in virtio_net_has_buffers (q=<optimized out>,
      q=<optimized out>, bufsize=102)
      at /home/doug/work/qemu/hw/net/virtio-net.c:1008
  #6  virtio_net_receive (nc=<optimized out>, buf=0x555557386b88 "", size=102)
      at /home/doug/work/qemu/hw/net/virtio-net.c:1148
  #7  0x00005555559cad33 in nc_sendv_compat (flags=<optimized out>, iovcnt=1,
      iov=0x7fffead746d0, nc=0x55555788b340) at net/net.c:705
  #8  qemu_deliver_packet_iov (sender=<optimized out>, flags=<optimized out>,
      iov=0x7fffead746d0, iovcnt=1, opaque=0x55555788b340) at net/net.c:732
  #9  0x00005555559cd929 in qemu_net_queue_deliver (size=<optimized out>,
      data=<optimized out>, flags=<optimized out>, sender=<optimized out>,
      queue=0x55555788b550) at net/queue.c:164
  #10 qemu_net_queue_flush (queue=0x55555788b550) at net/queue.c:261

This patch is safe to revert since it's just an optimization for
virtqueue polling.  The next patch will improve the situation again
without resorting to nesting.
