Consider migration case, this will prevent
sent_cb(virtio_net_tx_complete) from being called at source. Since we
don't migrate queue and async_tx. This may lead a interrupt lost in
destination after migration?
(Looks like virtio_net is the only user that uses async sending, not
sure why this is needed)
