Checking transport_{h2g,g2h} != NULL may race with vsock_core_unregister().
Make sure pointers remain valid.

What about if we introduce a new `vsock_get_local_cid`:

u32 vsock_get_local_cid() {
	u32 cid = VMADDR_CID_ANY;

	mutex_lock(&vsock_register_mutex);
	/* To be compatible with the VMCI behavior, we prioritize the
	 * guest CID instead of well-know host CID (VMADDR_CID_HOST).
	 */
	if (transport_g2h)
		cid = transport_g2h->get_local_cid();
	else if (transport_h2g)
		cid = transport_h2g->get_local_cid();
	mutex_lock(&vsock_register_mutex);

	return cid;
}


And we use it here, and in the place fixed by next patch?

I think we can fix all in a single patch, the problem here is to call 
transport_*->get_local_cid() without the lock IIUC.

Thanks,
Stefano
