Should we do the same also in virtio_transport_recv_pkt()?

The skb in that cases is allocated in drivers/vhost/vsock.c and
net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport.c using directly
virtio_vsock_alloc_skb(), because we don't know in advance which socket
it belongs to.

Then in virtio_transport_recv_pkt() we look for the socket and queue it
up. This should also solve the problem in vsock_loopback.c where we move
skb from one socket to another.

Thanks,
