```text
vsock_sysctl_ops and its two callbacks are named for the sysctl tables
they register, but the init callback already does more than that: it
also initialises the per-namespace vsock state through vsock_net_init().

Rename them to vsock_pernet_ops, vsock_pernet_init and
vsock_pernet_exit, so that later per-namespace work can be placed here
too.

No functional change.
