For non-linear skb use its pages from fragment array as buffers in
virtio tx queue. These pages are already pinned by 'get_user_pages()'
during such skb creation.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3:
 * Comment about 'page_to_virt()' is updated. I don't remove R-b,
   as this change is quiet small I guess.
v6 -> v7:
 * Move arrays '*sgs' and 'bufs' to 'virtio_vsock' instead of being
   local variables. This allows to save stack space in cases of too
   big MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
 * Add 'WARN_ON_ONCE()' for handling nonlinear skbs - it checks that
   linear part of such skb contains only header.
 * R-b tag removed due to updates above.

I'd add a comment here specifying specifying what we need these fields
for and why we put them here (basically Paolo's suggestion).

IIUC `sgs[i]` always contains `&bufs[i]`.

Could we initialize it once when we allocate `struct virtio_vsock` in
`virtio_vsock_probe`?

Of course putting a comment in `struct virtio_vsock` about it.

Since we are using them only for out buffers, I'd also rename them in
out_sgs and out_bufs.

The rest LGTM.
