SO_VM_SOCKETS_BUFFER_SIZE might have been useful for VMCI-specific

I guess these sockopts are bypassed by AF_VSOCK because it doesn't use
the common skb queuing code in net/core/sock.c:(. But one day we might
migrate to it...

+1, we should really consider to reuse the exist socket mechanism instead of re-inventing wheels.
