net/vmw_vsock: improve locking in vsock_connect_timeout()
A possible locking issue in vsock_connect_timeout() was recognized by Eric Dumazet which might cause a null pointer dereference in vsock_transport_cancel_pkt(). This patch assures that vsock_transport_cancel_pkt() will be called within the lock, so a race condition won't occur which could result in vsk->transport to be set to NULL.
