virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON.

The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host
we don't need callbacks now.  As it is not reliable, the debug check is
overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time.  Document this.

Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

Thanks to Balaji Rao for the bug report and testing.
