commit 059b7dbd20a6f0c539a45ddff1573cb8946685b5 upstream.

virtio_transport_inc_rx_pkt() checks vvs->rx_bytes + len > vvs->buf_alloc.

virtio_transport_recv_enqueue() skips coalescing for packets
with VIRTIO_VSOCK_SEQ_EOM.

If fed with packets with len == 0 and VIRTIO_VSOCK_SEQ_EOM,
a very large number of packets can be queued
because vvs->rx_bytes stays at 0.

Fix this by estimating the skb metadata size:

	(Number of skbs in the queue) * SKB_TRUESIZE(0)
