Subject: [PATCH 3.12 090/103] vsock: Make transport the proto owner

From: Andy King <acking@...are.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 2c4a336e0a3e203fab6aa8d8f7bb70a0ad968a6b ]

Right now the core vsock module is the owner of the proto family. This
means there's nothing preventing the transport module from unloading if
there are open sockets, which results in a panic. Fix that by allowing
the transport to be the owner, which will refcount it properly.

Includes version bump to 1.0.1.0-k

Passes checkpatch this time, I swear...
