v1 -> v2:
* Patch 2 (suppress EHOSTUNREACH): replace 'cpr_paused' + backend check
with a single 'started' latch;
* Patch 3 (re-scan TX virtqueue): reword commit message;
* Patch 4 (VHOST_RESET_OWNER):
- fix a vhost_worker use-after-free / stuck VHOST_WORK_QUEUED stall
against the lockless send path;
- drop the no-op vsock_for_each_connected_socket() iteration;
* Shuffle the patches, keep RESET_OWNER implementation last to preserve
bisectability;
* Reword the cover letter.

Host<-->guest connections via AF_VSOCK sockets aren't supposed to
outlive VM migration, since VM is moving to another host. However
there's a special case, which is QEMU live-update, or CPR
(checkpoint-restore) migration. In this case, VM remains on the same
host, and we'd like such connections to persist.
For this to work, we need to be able to transfer device ownership from
source QEMU to dest QEMU. Namely, source needs to reset ownership by
issuing VHOST_RESET_OWNER ioctl, and then target has to claim it by
calling VHOST_SET_OWNER.
Since VHOST_RESET_OWNER isn't yet implemented for vhost-vsock, let's add
such implementation. Patch 1 is a preliminary helper. Patches 2 and 3
fix the pre-existing issues which do manifest during CPR / RESET_OWNER.
Patch 4 is the ioctl's implementation itself - we keep it last to
preserve bisectability.
There's a complementary series for QEMU [0] adding support of vhost-vsock
devices during CPR migration.
I've tested this (patched QEMU + patched kernel) approximately as follows:
* Run listener in the guest:
socat -u VSOCK-LISTEN:9999 - >/tmp/recv.bin
* Run data transfer from host to guest:
socat -u FILE:/root/bigfile.bin VSOCK-CONNECT:CID:9999
* Perform CPR migration during transfer (either cpr-exec or cpr-transfer)
* Check that file hash sum matches
