I think we can add some more information in the description.  Sorry, I
should've said this earlier.

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.

Thanks, Artem!  This version looks good to me modulo my suggestion
about the description above.
