9p/net: Fix zero-copy path in the 9p virtio transport
The zero-copy optimization when reading or writing large chunks of data is quite useful. However, the 9p messages created through the zero-copy write path have an incorrect message size: it should be the size of the header + size of the data being written but instead it's just the size of the header. This only works if the server ignores the size field of the message and otherwise breaks the framing of the protocol. Fix this by re-writing the message size field with the correct value. Tested by running `dd if=/dev/zero of=out bs=4k count=1` inside a virtio-9p mount.
