Subject: [PATCH resend] vsock/virtio: avoid potential deadlock when vsock device remove

There's a potential deadlock case when remove the vsock device or
process the RESET event:

  vsock_for_each_connected_socket:
      spin_lock_bh(&vsock_table_lock) ----------- (1)
      ...
          virtio_vsock_reset_sock:
              lock_sock(sk) --------------------- (2)
      ...
      spin_unlock_bh(&vsock_table_lock)

lock_sock() may do initiative schedule when the 'sk' is owned by
other thread at the same time, we would receivce a warning message
that "scheduling while atomic".

Even worse, if the next task (selected by the scheduler) try to
release a 'sk', it need to request vsock_table_lock and the deadlock
occur, cause the system into softlockup state.
  Call trace:
   queued_spin_lock_slowpath
   vsock_remove_bound
   vsock_remove_sock
   virtio_transport_release
   __vsock_release
   vsock_release
   __sock_release
   sock_close
   __fput
   ____fput

So we should not require sk_lock in this case, just like the behavior
in vhost_vsock or vmci.
