Subject: [PATCH 1/1] vsock: fix the race conditions in multi-transport support

There are multiple similar bugs implicitly introduced by the
commit c0cfa2d8a788fcf4 ("vsock: add multi-transports support") and
commit 6a2c0962105ae8ce ("vsock: prevent transport modules unloading").

The bug pattern:
 [1] vsock_sock.transport pointer is copied to a local variable,
 [2] lock_sock() is called,
 [3] the local variable is used.
VSOCK multi-transport support introduced the race condition:
vsock_sock.transport value may change between [1] and [2].

Let's copy vsock_sock.transport pointer to local variables after
the lock_sock() call.
