[PATCH] vhost: vsock: don't send pkt when vq is not started

[Jia He <justin.he@arm.com>]

Ning Bo reported an abnormal 2-second gap when booting Kata container [1].
The unconditional timeout is caused by VSOCK_DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT of
connect at client side. The vhost vsock client tries to connect an
initlizing virtio vsock server.

The abnormal flow looks like:
host-userspace           vhost vsock                       guest vsock
==============           ===========                       ============
connect()     -------->  vhost_transport_send_pkt_work()   initializing
   |                     vq->private_data==NULL
   |                     will not be queued
   V
schedule_timeout(2s)
                         vhost_vsock_start()  <---------   device ready
                         set vq->private_data

wait for 2s and failed

connect() again          vq->private_data!=NULL          recv connecting pkt

1. host userspace sends a connect pkt, at that time, guest vsock is under
initializing, hence the vhost_vsock_start has not been called. So
vq->private_data==NULL, and the pkt is not been queued to send to guest.
2. then it sleeps for 2s
3. after guest vsock finishes initializing, vq->private_data is set.
4. When host userspace wakes up after 2s, send connecting pkt again,
everything is fine.

This fixes it by checking vq->private_data in vhost_transport_send_pkt,
and return at once if !vq->private_data. This makes user connect()
be returned with ECONNREFUSED.

After this patch, kata-runtime (with vsock enabled) boottime reduces from
3s to 1s on ThunderX2 arm64 server.
