Subject: virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error
when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't
dequeue all of the buffers from this packet,
the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.

Fix this issue.
