Subject: [PATCH v4 5/9] vsock/virtio: Rename virtio_vsock_alloc_skb()

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 10:01:12 +0100

In preparation for nonlinear allocations for large SKBs, rename
virtio_vsock_alloc_skb() to virtio_vsock_alloc_linear_skb() to indicate
that it returns linear SKBs unconditionally and switch all callers over
to this new interface for now.

No functional change.
