vsock/virtio: Allocate nonlinear SKBs for handling large transmit buffers

[Upstream commit 6693731487a8145a9b039bc983d77edc47693855]

When transmitting a vsock packet, virtio_transport_send_pkt_info() calls
virtio_transport_alloc_linear_skb() to allocate and fill SKBs with the
transmit data. Unfortunately, these are always linear allocations and
can therefore result in significant pressure on kmalloc() considering
that the maximum packet size (VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE +
VIRTIO_VSOCK_SKB_HEADROOM) is a little over 64KiB, resulting in a 128KiB
allocation for each packet.

Rework the vsock SKB allocation so that, for sizes with page order
greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, a nonlinear SKB is allocated
instead with the packet header in the SKB and the transmit data in the
fragments. Note that this affects both the vhost and virtio transports.
