Add support for sockmap to vsock.

We're testing usage of vsock as a way to redirect guest-local UDS requests to
the host and this patch series greatly improves the performance of such a
setup.

Compared to copying packets via userspace, this improves throughput by 121% in
basic testing.

Tested as follows.

Setup: guest unix dgram sender -> guest vsock redirector -> host vsock server
Threads: 1
Payload: 64k
No sockmap:
- 76.3 MB/s
- The guest vsock redirector was
  "socat VSOCK-CONNECT:2:1234 UNIX-RECV:/path/to/sock"
Using sockmap (this patch):
- 168.8 MB/s (+121%)
- The guest redirector was a simple sockmap echo server,
  redirecting unix ingress to vsock 2:1234 egress.
- Same sender and server programs

*Note: these numbers are from RFC v1

Only the virtio transport has been tested. The loopback transport was used in
writing bpf/selftests, but not thoroughly tested otherwise.

This series requires the skb patch.

Looks good to me. Definitely good to go as non-RFC.

Thanks.

Thank you for the review.

Best,
Bobby
