[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by
commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256
[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors
The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.
The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().
After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.
I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().
Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.
Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.
The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h
