vsock: add a netlink command to assign the g2h device to a netns

This commit introduces a vsock generic netlink family with
VSOCK_CMD_DEV_NETNS_SET and VSOCK_CMD_DEV_NETNS_GET to assign the
guest-to-host vsock device to a network namespace and query its assignment.
Sockets that can no longer reach the device after an assignment are closed
with ECONNRESET.

[Severity: Medium]
What happens in vsock_connect() when a socket reaches TCP_ESTABLISHED while
sleeping in schedule_timeout(), and is then swept by
vsock_g2h_reset_unreachable() before vsock_connect() reacquires
lock_sock(sk)?

While vsock_connect() has released lock_sock(sk) in schedule_timeout(),
virtio_transport_recv_connecting() can receive VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RESPONSE,
transition sk->sk_state to TCP_ESTABLISHED, set sock->state to SS_CONNECTED,
and insert vsk into vsock_connected_table. Once established, a concurrent
vsock_connectible_sendmsg() on another thread can acquire credits via
virtio_transport_get_credit() (incrementing vvs->bytes_unsent) and enqueue
VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RW skbs onto send_pkt_queue.

If VSOCK_CMD_DEV_NETNS_SET then runs vsock_g2h_reset_unreachable() before
vsock_connect() reacquires lock_sock(sk), it sets sk->sk_state to TCP_CLOSE
and sk->sk_err to ECONNRESET while leaving sock->state as SS_CONNECTED. When
vsock_connect() wakes up, the once-established check:

	if (sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED ||
	    sk->sk_state == TCP_CLOSING) {
		err = 0;
		goto out_wait;
	}

does not match because sk->sk_state is TCP_CLOSE rather than TCP_CLOSING (unlike
virtio_transport_do_close()) and sock->state == SS_CONNECTED is not checked.

If signal_pending(current) || timeout == 0 holds, vsock_connect() proceeds to
call vsock_transport_cancel_pkt(vsk) -> virtio_transport_purge_skbs(), which
purges the post-connection VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RW skbs without calling
virtio_transport_consume_skb_sent() to decrement vvs->bytes_unsent. Doesn't
this leak vvs->bytes_unsent and cause vsock_linger() on close() to block until
sk_lingertime expires, similar to the issue fixed by commit 002541ef650b
("vsock: Do not allow signal/timeout on established sockets")?

And if no signal or timeout is pending, vsock_connect() exits the wait loop,
consumes sk->sk_err via sock_error(sk), calls vsock_connect_close(sock), and
returns -ECONNRESET while leaving sock->state as SS_CONNECTED with sk->sk_err
cleared to 0.

Should vsock_g2h_reset_unreachable() set sk->sk_state = TCP_CLOSING like
virtio_transport_do_close(), or should vsock_connect() also check for
sock->state == SS_CONNECTED after schedule_timeout()?
