Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] vsock/virtio: discard packets if credit is not respected

If the remote peer doesn't respect the credit information
(buf_alloc, fwd_cnt), sending more data than it can send,
we should drop the packets to prevent a malicious peer
from using all of our memory.

This is patch follows the VIRTIO spec: "VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RW data
packets MUST only be transmitted when the peer has sufficient
free buffer space for the payload"
