runInLinuxVM: set 9p msize to 128K
This fixes the following warning from QEMU, by using the value that
will be the default in newer kernels[1].

> 9p: degraded performance: a reasonable high msize should be chosen
> on client/guest side (chosen msize is <= 8192). See

For a runInLinuxVM derivation I have that does a large amount of
IO[2], this change results in a fairly small but repeatable speed
increase.
