Arseniy Krasnov f7154d967b virtio/vsock: fix header length on skb merging
This fixes appending newly arrived skbuff to the last skbuff of the
socket's queue. Problem fires when we are trying to append data to skbuff
which was already processed in dequeue callback at least once. Dequeue
callback calls function 'skb_pull()' which changes 'skb->len'. In current
implementation 'skb->len' is used to update length in header of the last
skbuff after new data was copied to it. This is bug, because value in
header is used to calculate 'rx_bytes'/'fwd_cnt' and thus must be not
be changed during skbuff's lifetime.

Bug starts to fire since:

commit 0777061657
("virtio/vsock: don't use skbuff state to account credit")

It presents before, but didn't triggered due to a little bit buggy
implementation of credit calculation logic. So use Fixes tag for it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
