[PATCH v5 01/11] 9p/trans_virtio: separate allocation of scatter gather list

[Christian Schoenebeck <linux_oss@crudebyte.com>]

The scatter gather list in struct virtio_chan currently
resides as compile-time constant size array directly within the
contiguous struct virtio_chan's memory space.

Separate memory space and allocation of the scatter gather list
from memory space and allocation of struct virtio_chan.
