vmci_transport_dgram_enqueue() does not check the return value
of memcpy_from_msg(). If memcpy_from_msg() fails, it is possible that
uninitialized memory contents are sent unintentionally instead of user's
message in the datagram to the destination. Return with an error if
memcpy_from_msg() fails.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
Fixes: 0f7db23a07af ("vmci_transport: switch ->enqeue_dgram, ->enqueue_stream and ->dequeue_stream to msghdr")
