Is timer not executed during the VMEXIT process? Otherwise, we still have to
consider that after the flush_or_purge_queued_packets, this process before the

Even if it can be processed in virtio_net_tx_complete, is there any good way?
This is a callback, it is not convenient to pass the parameters.
