Stefano Garzarella 3f74957fcb vsock: fix potential deadlock in transport->release()
Some transports (hyperv, virtio) acquire the sock lock during the
.release() callback.

In the vsock_stream_connect() we call vsock_assign_transport(); if
the socket was previously assigned to another transport, the
vsk->transport->release() is called, but the sock lock is already
held in the vsock_stream_connect(), causing a deadlock reported by
syzbot:

    INFO: task syz-executor280:9768 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
      Not tainted 5.6.0-rc1-syzkaller #0

To avoid this issue, this patch remove the lock acquiring in the
.release() callback of hyperv and virtio transports, and it holds
the lock when we call vsk->transport->release() in the vsock core.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
