Subject: [PATCH net] vsock/virtio: postpone packet delivery to monitoring devices

We delivering packets to monitoring devices, before to check if
the virtqueue has enough space.

If the virtqueue is full, the transmitting packet is queued up
and it will be sent in the next iteration. This causes the same
packet to be delivered multiple times to monitoring devices.

This patch fixes this issue, postponing the packet delivery
to monitoring devices, only when it is properly queued in the
virqueue.

Fixes: 82dfb540aeb2 ("VSOCK: Add virtio vsock vsockmon hooks")
