[PATCH v2] vsock/virtio: initialize the_virtio_vsock before using VQs

From: Alexandru Matei
Date: Mon Oct 23 2023 - 10:09:17 EST


Once VQs are filled with empty buffers and we kick the host,
it can send connection requests. If 'the_virtio_vsock' is not
initialized before, replies are silently dropped and do not reach the host.

Fixes: 0deab087b16a ("vsock/virtio: use RCU to avoid use-after-free on the_virtio_vsock")

v2:
- split virtio_vsock_vqs_init in vqs_init and vqs_fill and moved
the_virtio_vsock initialization after vqs_init
