If the socket has been de-assigned or assigned to another transport,
we must discard any packets received because they are not expected
and would cause issues when we access vsk->transport.

A possible scenario is described by Hyunwoo Kim in the attached link,
where after a first connect() interrupted by a signal, and a second
connect() failed, we can find `vsk->transport` at NULL, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference.

FWIW, I've tried simplifying Hyunwoo's repro to toy with some tests. Ended
up with
from threading import *
from socket import *
from signal import *

def listener(tid):
	while True:
		s = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_SEQPACKET)
		s.bind((1, 1234))
		s.listen()
		pthread_kill(tid, SIGUSR1)

signal(SIGUSR1, lambda *args: None)
Thread(target=listener, args=[get_ident()]).start()

while True:
	c = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_SEQPACKET)
	c.connect_ex((1, 1234))
	c.connect_ex((42, 1234))
which gives me splats with or without this patch.

That said, when I apply this patch, but drop the `sk->sk_state !=
TCP_LISTEN &&`: no more splats.
