virtio declares support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, but assumes
that there are at most MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 fragments which isn't
always true with a fraglist.

A longer fraglist in the skb will make the call to skb_to_sgvec overflow
the sg array, leading to memory corruption.

Drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST so we only get what we can handle.

   I'd have added spaces around | to match the style seen below.

Ok, will fix this in V2.
