Subject: [PATCH 3/6] macvtap: zerocopy: validate vector length before pinning
	user pages

Currently we do not validate the vector length before calling
get_user_pages_fast(), host stack would be easily overflowed by
malicious guest driver who give us a descriptor with length greater
than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Solve this problem by checking the free entries
before trying to pin user pages.
