lguest: Do not exit on non-fatal errors
Do not exit on some non-fatal errors:
- writev() fails in net_output(). The result is a lost packet or packets.
- writev() fails in console_output(). The result is partially lost console
output.
- readv() fails in net_input(). The result is a lost packet or packets.
Rather than bringing the guest down, this patch ignores e.g. an allocation
failure on the host side. Example:
lguest: page allocation failure. order:4, mode:0x4d0
Pid: 4045, comm: lguest Tainted: G W 2.6.36 #1
