Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] virtio-vsock: Add timer to handle OOM situations

From: Gerard Garcia <ggarcia@...c.uab.cat>

This patch applies over the stefanha/vsock-next repository:
https://github.com/stefanha/linux/tree/vsock-next

Once the guest puts a packet in the virtqueue it is guaranteed
that it will be delivered. 

This patch addresses the problem of packets being discarded when 
there is not available memory in the host.

v2:
* Use of ERR_PTR/PTR_ERR/IS_ERR
* Timer cleaned on device release.
* Do not process more packets on error.
