vhost/vsock: Avoid allocating arbitrarily-sized SKBs
vhost_vsock_alloc_skb() returns NULL for packets advertising a length larger than VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE in the packet header. However, this is only checked once the SKB has been allocated and, if the length in the packet header is zero, the SKB may not be freed immediately. Hoist the size check before the SKB allocation so that an iovec larger than VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE + the header size is rejected outright. The subsequent check on the length field in the header can then simply check that the allocated SKB is indeed large enough to hold the packet.
