I'd add a comment here specifying specifying what we need these fields
for and why we put them here (basically Paolo's suggestion).

IIUC `sgs[i]` always contains `&bufs[i]`.

Could we initialize it once when we allocate `struct virtio_vsock` in
`virtio_vsock_probe`?

Of course putting a comment in `struct virtio_vsock` about it.

Since we are using them only for out buffers, I'd also rename them in
out_sgs and out_bufs.

The rest LGTM.
