[PATCH 3.11 191/208] virtio_net: don't leak memory or block when too many frags

[Luis Henriques]

3.11.10.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

We leak an skb when there are too many frags,
we also stop processing the packet in the middle,
the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
