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.

t_ops->send_pkt() is returning the number of bytes sent. Current
implementations always return `skb_len`, so there should be no problem,
but it would be better to put a comment here, or we should handle the
case where ret != skb_len to avoid future issues.

Good point, can we do the same also for virtio_transport_get_credit()?
(Maybe in a separate patch)
I'm thinking if may be better to do it directly inside the functions,
but I don't have a strong opinion on that since we only call them here.
Thanks,
Stefano
