vsock: correct removal of socket from the list



The current vsock code for removal of socket from the list is both
subject to race and inefficient. It takes the lock, checks whether
the socket is in the list, drops the lock and if the socket was on the
list, deletes it from the list. This is subject to race because as soon
as the lock is dropped once it is checked for presence, that condition
cannot be relied upon for any decision. It is also inefficient because
if the socket is present in the list, it takes the lock twice.
