Right now the core vsock module is the owner of the proto family. This means there's nothing preventing the transport module from unloading if there are open sockets, which results in a panic. Fix that by allowing the transport to be the owner, which will refcount it properly. Includes version bump to 1.0.1.0-k Passes checkpatch this time, I swear... Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Please do not explicitly CC: stable for networking submissions, instead please just ask me to queue it up for -stable submission since I handle networking -stable myself.
