Re: [PATCH v6 2/3] vsock: remove the now-unused rejected flag

After previous patch, the branch marking a socket rejected in
vsock_accept() is unreachable, and nothing ever sets vsk->rejected
elsewhere.

In fact, since commit d021c344051a ("VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets"),
where `rejected` was introduced, there has never been a path that sets
sk_err on a listening socket, so that branch has been dead code since
the beginning.

Therefore, we can remove the `rejected` field from vsock_sock structure.
