fixes an assertion failure in qemu network packet processing, which can
lead to DOS'ing the qemu process on the host. this affects 'e1000e' and
'vmxnet3' network devices.

patch is cherry-picked from the commit mentioned in the oss-security email.

+Subject: [PATCH] hw/net/net_tx_pkt: fix assertion failure in
+ net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment()
+
+An assertion failure issue was found in the code that processes network packets
+while adding data fragments into the packet context. It could be abused by a
+malicious guest to abort the QEMU process on the host. This patch replaces the
+affected assert() with a conditional statement, returning false if the current
+data fragment exceeds max_raw_frags.
