Why `orig_` prefix?

Maybe I need to review all the series, but it's a bit confusing for now.
I guess it's related to the new behaviour to not change the mode of 
already created sockets (which I like), but IMHO this variable prefix is 
confusing.It seems we will have another field with the "actual_" mode, 
but if it's immutable, I'd avoid that prefix.

`orig_net_mode` is also explained in the next paragraph, should we 
remove from here?

nit: I'd rewrite in this way, just because it seems easy to read to me, 
but again not strong opinion, this is fine:

	return orig_net_mode == VSOCK_NET_MODE_GLOBAL &&
	       orig_net_mode == vsk->orig_net_mode;

sysctl_header, or sysctl_hdr, or sysctl_ctl ?
I'd remove `vsock_` prefix and make more clear its used for sysctl.

I would call this `mode_set` or `mode_locked`, I mean with `mode_` 
prefix to make sure we don't need to rename it when we will add new 
fields in the future.
