Subject: [RFC PATCH v4] virtio/vsock: allocate multiple skbuffs on tx

This adds small optimization for tx path: instead of allocating single
skbuff on every call to transport, allocate multiple skbuff's until
credit space allows, thus trying to send as much as possible data without
return to af_vsock.c.

 Changelog:
 v1 -> v2:
 - If sent something, return number of bytes sent (even in
   case of error). Return error only if failed to sent first
   skbuff.

 v2 -> v3:
 - Handle case when transport callback returns unexpected value which
   is not equal to 'skb->len'. Break loop.
 - Don't check for zero value of 'rest_len' before calling
   'virtio_transport_put_credit()'. Decided to add this check directly
   to 'virtio_transport_put_credit()' in separate patch.

 v3 -> v4:
 - Use WARN_ONCE() to handle case when transport callback returns
   unexpected value.
 - Remove useless 'ret = -EFAULT;' assignment for case above.
