Subject: [PATCH 4.9 02/20] vsock: cope with memory allocation failure at socket creation time

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

------------------

[ Upstream commit 225d9464268599a5b4d094d02ec17808e44c7553 ]

In the unlikely event that the kmalloc call in vmci_transport_socket_init()
fails, we end-up calling vmci_transport_destruct() with a NULL vmci_trans()
and oopsing.

This change addresses the above explicitly checking for zero vmci_trans()
at destruction time.
