From: Norbert Slusarek <nslusarek@gmx.net> commit 3d0bc44d39bca615b72637e340317b7899b7f911 upstream. 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.
