Subject: [PATCH v3] vsock/virtio: free packets during the socket release

When the socket is released, we should free all packets
queued in the per-socket list in order to avoid a memory
leak.

This patch was in the series "[PATCH v2 0/8] vsock/virtio: optimizations
to increase the throughput" [1]. As Stefan suggested, I'm sending it as
a separated patch.

v3:
  - use list_for_each_entry_safe() [David]
