vsock/virtio: support guest device network namespace

This commit adds network namespace assignment support to the guest
virtio-vsock driver, restricting reachability to the assigned namespace and
atomically checking reachability when inserting sockets into the connected
table.

[Severity: Medium]
As reported by Stefano Garzarella on v4 [1], will the VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RST
replies sent by virtio_transport_reset_no_sock(t, skb, net) still get dropped
by virtio_transport_send_pkt() when a namespace assignment races with an
incoming packet?

In virtio_transport_rx_work(), net is snapshotted via vsock_g2h_net_get()
before calling virtio_transport_recv_pkt(t, skb, net). Inside
virtio_transport_recv_pkt(), the socket sk is looked up with
vsock_find_connected_socket_net() or vsock_find_bound_socket_net(), both of
which require vsock_net_check_mode(sock_net(sk), net) to be true.

Because a namespace's vsock mode is fixed after initialization, sock_net(sk)
(as well as sock_net(child) in virtio_transport_recv_listen()) and the
snapshot net passed to virtio_transport_recv_pkt() always have the same
reachability with respect to vsock_g2h_net.

If a concurrent vsock_g2h_net_assign() changes vsock_g2h_net to an
unreachable namespace after the socket lookup in virtio_transport_recv_pkt()
(for instance while acquiring lock_sock(sk) or setting up the child socket):

1. In virtio_transport_recv_connecting(), vsock_maybe_set_connected(vsk)
   returns false because sock_net(sk) is no longer reachable from the new
   vsock_g2h_net.
2. In virtio_transport_recv_listen(), vsock_assign_transport(vchild, vsk) or
   vsock_maybe_set_connected(vchild) fails for the same reason.
3. In virtio_transport_recv_pkt(), if vsock_g2h_reset_unreachable() swept sk
   before lock_sock(sk) completed, sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DONE) is set.

All of these paths call:

  virtio_transport_reset_no_sock(t, skb, net)
    -> t->send_pkt(reply, net)
      -> virtio_transport_send_pkt(reply, net)

However, net is still the pre-assignment namespace snapshot from
virtio_transport_rx_work(). When virtio_transport_send_pkt() checks
vsock_g2h_net_reachable(net) against the newly assigned vsock_g2h_net, it
evaluates to false, freeing the RST skb and returning -ENETUNREACH without
sending the reset to the peer.

Should virtio_transport_send_pkt() allow outgoing VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RST packets
(or should virtio_transport_reset_no_sock() bypass the net reachability
check) so the peer receives the reset when a handshake or connection races
with namespace assignment?
