We must check for new virtqueue buffers after re-enabling notifications.
This prevents the race condition where the guest added buffers just
after we stopped popping the virtqueue but before we re-enabled
notifications.
I think the virtio-crypto code was based on virtio-net but this crucial
detail was missed. virtio-net does not have the race condition because
it processes the virtqueue one more time after re-enabling
notifications.
