[PATCH net,stable v4 0/3] vhost: fix a few skb leaks

[wexu]

From: Wei Xu <wexu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit
c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed
in the following thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg187936.html

v4:
- fix zero iov iterator count in tap/tap_do_read()(Jason)
- don't put tun in case of EBADFD(Jason)
- Replace msg->msg_control with new 'skb' when calling tun/tap_do_read()

v3:
- move freeing skb from vhost to tun/tap recvmsg() to not
  confuse the callers.

v2:
- add Matthew as the reporter, thanks matthew.
- moving zero headcount check ahead instead of defer consuming skb
  due to jason and mst's comment.
- add freeing skb in favor of recvmsg() fails.

Wei Xu (3):
  vhost: fix skb leak in handle_rx()
  tun: free skb in early errors
  tap: free skb if flags error
