Subject: virtio-net: drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 48900cb6af4282fa0fb6ff4d72a81aa3dadb5c39 ]

virtio declares support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, but assumes
that there are at most MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 fragments which isn't
always true with a fraglist.

A longer fraglist in the skb will make the call to skb_to_sgvec overflow
the sg array, leading to memory corruption.

Drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST so we only get what we can handle.
