Virtualization - Dec 2013 - [PATCH stable v2 1/3] virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers

Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error
when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't
dequeue all of the buffers from this packet,
the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.

Fix this issue.
