Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] vsock/test: add recv_buf()/send_buf() utility functions and some improvements

We recently found that some tests were failing [1].

The problem was that we were not waiting for all the bytes correctly,
so we had a partial read. I had initially suggested using MSG_WAITALL,
but this could have timeout problems.

Since we already had send_byte() and recv_byte() that handled the timeout,
but also the expected return value, I moved that code to two new functions
that we can now use to send/receive generic buffers.

The last commit is just an improvement to a test I found difficult to
understand while using the new functions.

@Arseniy a review and some testing are really appreciated :-)
