virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pages

Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate
one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should
recycle the pages allocated in this case.

A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing
unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually
caused a barely measurable slowdown.
