[PATCH v2] vsock/virtio: rework MSG_ZEROCOPY flag handling
From: Arseniy Krasnov
Date: Sun Jun 14 2026 - 13:48:50 EST
Logically it was based on TCP implementation, so make further support
easier, rewrite it in the TCP way.

Changelog v1->v2:
* Rebase on last 'net-next'. Don't need 'skb_zcopy_set()' now - it was
already added.
