[PATCH RESEND net] Revert "vsock/virtio: fix skb overhead overflow on 32-bit builds"

This reverts commit 4157501b9a8f ("vsock/virtio: fix skb overhead
overflow on 32-bit builds"). The fix was semantically correct (although
it would have been better to use mul_u32_u32(), as David pointed out),
but in practice we are estimating the memory used to allocate the SKBs,
and this will never cause a 32-bit variable to overflow on a 32-bit
system, since the memory would have run out long before that. On 64-bit,
SKB_TRUESIZE() already evaluates to size_t, so the multiplication is
already in 64-bit arithmetic without the cast.
Let's revert this to avoid unnecessary 64-bit multiplies on the
per-packet receive path on 32-bit systems.
