hv_sock: Fix hang when a connection is closed
There is a race condition for an established connection that is being closed by the guest: the refcnt is 4 at the end of hvs_release() (Note: here the 'remove_sock' is false): 1 for the initial value; 1 for the sk being in the bound list; 1 for the sk being in the connected list; 1 for the delayed close_work. After hvs_release() finishes, __vsock_release() -> sock_put(sk) *may* decrease the refcnt to 3. Concurrently, hvs_close_connection() runs in another thread: calls vsock_remove_sock() to decrease the refcnt by 2; call sock_put() to decrease the refcnt to 0, and free the sk; next, the "release_sock(sk)" may hang due to use-after-free. In the above, after hvs_release() finishes, if hvs_close_connection() runs faster than "__vsock_release() -> sock_put(sk)", then there is not any issue, because at the beginning of hvs_close_connection(), the refcnt is still 4. The issue can be resolved if an extra reference is taken when the connection is established.
