Lockdep is unhappy if two locks from the same class are held.

Fix the below warning by making __vsock_release() non-recursive -- this
patch is kind of ugly, but it looks to me there is not a better way to
deal with the problem here.

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.2.0+ #6 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
a.out/1020 is trying to acquire lock:
0000000074731a98 (sk_lock-AF_VSOCK){+.+.}, at: hvs_release+0x10/0x120 [hv_sock]

but task is already holding lock:
0000000014ff8397 (sk_lock-AF_VSOCK){+.+.}, at: __vsock_release+0x2e/0xf0 [vsock]

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(sk_lock-AF_VSOCK);
  lock(sk_lock-AF_VSOCK);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by a.out/1020:
 #0: 00000000f8bceaa7 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#10){+.+.}, at: __sock_release+0x2d/0xa0
 #1: 0000000014ff8397 (sk_lock-AF_VSOCK){+.+.}, at: __vsock_release+0x2e/0xf0 [vsock]

Should we update also other transports?
