commit 002541ef650b ("vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if
already established") stopped connect() from resetting an established
socket. The check only looks at whether sk_state is TCP_ESTABLISHED at
that moment, and the state can change while connect() sleeps.
A peer RST moves the socket to TCP_CLOSING, and it is not removed from
vsock_connected_table on that path. connect() then wakes up, fails the
check, and resets a socket that had actually connected to TCP_CLOSE and
SS_UNCONNECTED.
The socket can now be connected again while it is still on the table.
Reconnecting to an address served by a different transport makes
vsock_assign_transport() drop the transport from a live socket and free
vsk->trans, even if skbs it already sent are still in flight.
Reconnecting to the same address inserts a node that is already on the
table, provided shutdown() has cleared SOCK_DONE in between.
sock->state cannot be used for the check either. shutdown() overwrites
SS_CONNECTED with SS_DISCONNECTING.
Record on the socket that the connection completed, and check that
instead. The sk_err path after the loop does the same reset, so guard it
as well.
