Re: [PATCH v2] vsock: ignore empty child namespace mode writes

__vsock_net_mode_string() returns success without updating new_mode when
the transfer length is zero. Its caller then reads the uninitialized enum
and may permanently store a stack-derived value in the write-once child
mode.

Return before inspecting or storing new_mode when no bytes were
transferred. This also prevents an empty write from locking the current
mode.
