Jia He 8692cefc43 virtio_vsock: Fix race condition in virtio_transport_recv_pkt
When client on the host tries to connect(SOCK_STREAM, O_NONBLOCK) to the
server on the guest, there will be a panic on a ThunderX2 (armv8a server):

The race condition is as follows:
Task1                                Task2
=====                                =====
__sock_release                       virtio_transport_recv_pkt
  __vsock_release                      vsock_find_bound_socket (found sk)
    lock_sock_nested
    vsock_remove_sock
    sock_orphan
      sk_set_socket(sk, NULL)
    sk->sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK
    ...
    release_sock
                                    lock_sock
                                       virtio_transport_recv_connecting
                                         sk->sk_socket->state (panic!)

The root cause is that vsock_find_bound_socket can't hold the lock_sock,
so there is a small race window between vsock_find_bound_socket() and
lock_sock(). If __vsock_release() is running in another task,
sk->sk_socket will be set to NULL inadvertently.

This fixes it by checking sk->sk_shutdown(suggested by Stefano) after
lock_sock since sk->sk_shutdown is set to SHUTDOWN_MASK under the
protection of lock_sock_nested.

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.
