====================
vsock/virtio: optimizations to increase the throughput

This series tries to increase the throughput of virtio-vsock with slight
changes.
While I was testing the v2 of this series I discovered an huge use of memory,
so I added patch 1 to mitigate this issue. I put it in this series in order
to better track the performance trends.

v5:
- rebased all patches on net-next
- added Stefan's R-b and Michael's A-b

v4: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11047717
v3: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10970145
v2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10938743
v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10885431

Below are the benchmarks step by step. I used iperf3 [1] modified with VSOCK
support. As Michael suggested in the v1, I booted host and guest with 'nosmap'.

A brief description of patches:
- Patches 1:   limit the memory usage with an extra copy for small packets
- Patches 2+3: reduce the number of credit update messages sent to the
               transmitter
- Patches 4+5: allow the host to split packets on multiple buffers and use
               VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE as the max packet size allowed

As Stefan suggested in the v1, I measured also the efficiency in this way:
    efficiency = Mbps / (%CPU_Host + %CPU_Guest)

The '%CPU_Guest' is taken inside the VM. I know that it is not the best way,
but it's provided for free from iperf3 and could be an indication.
