vsock/virtio/vhost: read data from non-linear skb
This is preparation patch for MSG_ZEROCOPY support. It adds handling of non-linear skbs by replacing direct calls of 'memcpy_to_msg()' with 'skb_copy_datagram_iter()'. Main advantage of the second one is that it can handle paged part of the skb by using 'kmap()' on each page, but if there are no pages in the skb, it behaves like simple copying to iov iterator. This patch also adds new field to the control block of skb - this value shows current offset in the skb to read next portion of data (it doesn't matter linear it or not). Idea behind this field is that 'skb_copy_datagram_iter()' handles both types of skb internally - it just needs an offset from which to copy data from the given skb. This offset is incremented on each read from skb. This approach allows to simplify handling of both linear and non-linear skbs, because for linear skb we need to call 'skb_pull()' after reading data from it, while in non-linear case we need to update 'data_len'.
