Linux Virtualization - Dec 2013 - [PATCH stable] virtio_net: don't leak memory or block when too many frags

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.

Note: this path is gone upstream, so this patch is
for stable kernel only.
This is on top of series:
	virtio-net: backport error handling bugfix
that I sent previously (and that this is in reply to).
