[PATCH v2] vsock: use sock_error() to consume sk_err after a

[phind.uet@gmail.com]

From: Nguyen Dinh Phi <phind.uet@gmail.com>

Syzbot report an issue which can be reproduced with these steps:
   r0 = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
   bind(r0, {VMADDR_CID_ANY, PORT})
   connect(r0, {VMADDR_CID_LOCAL, PORT})
   listen(r0, backlog)

   r1 = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
   connect(r1, {VMADDR_CID_LOCAL, PORT})
   connect(r0 -> self) -> -1, EPROTO
  
   listen(r0)          -> 0
   connect(r1 -> r0)   -> 0
   accept(r0)          -> -1, EPROTO

Basically, it creates a socket (r0) and triggers a self-connect after
binding it. This self-connect fails with EPROTO because it loops back to
r0 while the socket is still in the TCP_SYN_SENT state, causing it to be
incorrectly dispatched to the connecting-client path. The unexpected
packet type encountered there sets sk_err to EPROTO.

After that, it invokes a listen() call on the same socket. This listen()
call succeeds because the kernel's listening path never inspects or
clears sk_err. Then, a new socket (r1) is created as a normal client and
connects to r0. However, vsock_accept() rejects this incoming connection
because the listener's sk_err still holds the EPROTO error from the
earlier failed self-connect.

This rejection causes the child socket created for r1's connection to
never be freed on virtio or hyperv transports; only the VMCI transport
implements pending_work to revisit and clean up a rejected socket

Fix the issue by using sock_error() to read the sk_err to prevent the
rejection branch from occurring  in this scenario.

sock_error() atomically reads and clears sk_err, ensuring the error is
consumed when vsock_connect() returns and cannot affect subsequent
operations on the same socket. This matches the established pattern
used by other protocol connect() implementations in the network
stack like __inet_stream_connect(), tipc_wait_for_connect()...
