vsock/virtio: Resize receive buffers so that each SKB fits in a 4K page



[ Upstream commit 03a92f03 ]

When allocating receive buffers for the vsock virtio RX virtqueue, an
SKB is allocated with a 4140 data payload (the 44-byte packet header +
VIRTIO_VSOCK_DEFAULT_RX_BUF_SIZE). Even when factoring in the SKB
overhead, the resulting 8KiB allocation thanks to the rounding in
kmalloc_reserve() is wasteful (~3700 unusable bytes) and results in a
higher-order page allocation on systems with 4KiB pages just for the
sake of a few hundred bytes of packet data.

Limit the vsock virtio RX buffers to 4KiB per SKB, resulting in much
better memory utilisation and removing the need to allocate higher-order
pages entirely.
