[PATCH] virtio/vsock: fix the transport to work with VMADDR_CID_ANY

[Wei Wang <wei.w.wang@intel.com>]

The VMADDR_CID_ANY flag used by a socket means that the socket isn't bound
to any specific CID. For example, a host vsock server may want to be bound
with VMADDR_CID_ANY, so that a guest vsock client can connect to the host
server with CID=VMADDR_CID_HOST (i.e. 2), and meanwhile, a host vsock
client can connect to the same local server with CID=VMADDR_CID_LOCAL
(i.e. 1).

The current implementation sets the destination socket's svm_cid to a
fixed CID value after the first client's connection, which isn't an
expected operation. For example, if the guest client first connects to the
host server, the server's svm_cid gets set to VMADDR_CID_HOST, then other
host clients won't be able to connect to the server anymore.

Reproduce steps:
1. Run the host server:
   socat VSOCK-LISTEN:1234,fork -
2. Run a guest client to connect to the host server:
   socat - VSOCK-CONNECT:2:1234
3. Run a host client to connect to the host server:
   socat - VSOCK-CONNECT:1:1234

Without this patch, step 3. above fails to connect, and socat complains
"socat[1720] E connect(5, AF=40 cid:1 port:1234, 16): Connection
reset by peer".
With this patch, the above works well.
