Subject: [RFC][NOT TESTED][PATCH] vsock: Fix blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait

We receoved a bug report from someone using vmware:

transport->stream_enqueue may call copy_to_user so it should
not be called inside a prepare_to_wait. Narrow the scope of
the prepare_to_wait to avoid the bad call.

The bug report looks valid but I haven't heard back from the reporter whether
or not it fixed the problem, hence the submit as an RFC.
