virtio-net: fix pages leaking when building skb in big mode
[ Upstream commit afd92d82c9d715fb97565408755acad81573591a ]
We try to use build_skb() if we had sufficient tailroom. But we forget
to release the unused pages chained via private in big mode which will
leak pages. Fixing this by release the pages after building the skb in
big mode.
