vhost/vsock: negotiate datagram support with guests

This commit exposes VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_DGRAM in the vhost feature bitmap and
tracks whether datagram support was negotiated per guest via
vsock->dgram_allow. It also wires up vhost_transport_dgram_allow() to check
the negotiated feature on the target guest for outbound datagrams.

[Severity: Medium]
Can a guest that has not negotiated VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_DGRAM still send
VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_DGRAM packets to unconnected bound SOCK_DGRAM sockets on
the host?

vhost_transport_dgram_allow() checks vsock->dgram_allow on outbound host
connect() and sendmsg() paths, but on the guest-to-host path in
drivers/vhost/vsock.c:vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick(), incoming packets are
passed to virtio_transport_recv_pkt() without checking vsock->dgram_allow:

drivers/vhost/vsock.c:vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick() {
	...
		/* Only accept correctly addressed packets */
		if (le64_to_cpu(hdr->src_cid) == vsock->guest_cid &&
		    le64_to_cpu(hdr->dst_cid) ==
		    vhost_transport_get_local_cid())
			virtio_transport_recv_pkt(&vhost_transport, skb,
						  vsock->net);
		else
			kfree_skb(skb);
	...
}

Unlike VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_SEQPACKET, where inbound connection requests go
through virtio_transport_recv_listen() -> vsock_assign_transport() ->
vhost_transport_seqpacket_allow(), inbound VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_DGRAM packets
in net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport_common.c:virtio_transport_recv_pkt() are
queued directly onto bound unconnected SOCK_DGRAM sockets without calling
dgram_allow():

net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport_common.c:virtio_transport_recv_pkt() {
	...
	if (le16_to_cpu(hdr->type) == VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_DGRAM) {
		if (le16_to_cpu(hdr->op) != VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RW)
			goto free_pkt;

		sk = vsock_find_bound_socket_net(&dst, net);
		...
		if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD) ||
		    vsk->transport != &t->transport ||
		    (sk->sk_socket->state != SS_UNCONNECTED &&
		     !vsock_check_source(vsk, &t->transport, &src))) {
			release_sock(sk);
			sock_put(sk);
			goto free_pkt;
		}

		if (sock_queue_rcv_skb(sk, skb))
			kfree_skb(skb);
	...
}

Even with the later virtio_transport_dgram_source_allow() check, unconnected
bound SOCK_DGRAM sockets return true before consulting dgram_allow().

Should vhost_vsock_handle_tx_kick() drop VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_DGRAM packets
when !vsock->dgram_allow, or should virtio_transport_recv_pkt() validate
dgram_allow() for incoming datagrams regardless of whether the receiving
socket is connected?
