This patch sets the skb owner in the recv and send path for virtio. For the send path, this solves the leak caused when virtio_transport_purge_skbs() finds skb->sk is always NULL and therefore never matches it with the current socket. Setting the owner upon allocation fixes this. For the recv path, this ensures correctness of accounting and also correct transfer of ownership in vsock_loopback (when skbs are sent from one socket and received by another).
