Subject: [RFC] vsock: notify server to shutdown when client has pending signal

The client's sk_state will be set to TCP_ESTABLISHED if the
server replay the client's connect request.
However, if the client has pending signal, its sk_state will
be set to TCP_CLOSE without notify the server, so the server
will hold the corrupt connection.

            client                        server

1. sk_state=TCP_SYN_SENT         |
2. call ->connect()              |
3. wait reply                    |
                                 | 4. sk_state=TCP_ESTABLISHED
                                 | 5. insert to connected list
                                 | 6. reply to the client
7. sk_state=TCP_ESTABLISHED      |
8. insert to connected list      |
9. *signal pending* <--------------------- the user kill client
10. sk_state=TCP_CLOSE           |
client is exiting...             |
11. call ->release()             |
     virtio_transport_close
      if (!(sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED ||
	      sk->sk_state == TCP_CLOSING))
		return true; <------------- return at here
As a result, the server cannot notice the connection is corrupt.
So the client should notify the peer in this case.
