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
    "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

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.

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.
