net: fix qemu_flush_queued_packets() in presence of a hub
When frontend and backend are connected through a hub as below (showing only one direction), and the frontend (or in general, all output ports of the hub) cannot accept more traffic, the backend queues packets in queue-A. When the frontend (or in general, one output port) becomes ready again, quemu tries to flush packets from queue-B, which is unfortunately empty. e1000.0 <--[queue B]-- hub0port0(hub)hub0port1 <--[queue A]-- tap.0 To fix this i propose to introduce a new function net_hub_flush() which is called when trying to flush a queue connected to a hub.
