Subject: [PATCH 4.9] usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a socket pointer address

commit 2f2d0088eb93 ("usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a
socket pointer address")

When a client has a USB device attached over IP, the vhci_hcd driver is
locally leaking a socket pointer address via the

/sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/status file (world-readable) and in debug
output when "usbip --debug port" is run.

Fix it to not leak. The socket pointer address is not used at the moment
and it was made visible as a convenient way to find IP address from
socket pointer address by looking up /proc/net/{tcp,tcp6}.

As this opens a security hole, the fix replaces socket pointer address
with sockfd.
