Alexandru Matei bfd1ce30e1 kernel: Fix vsock packets drop when the vsock driver starts
The virtio vsock driver has a small window during initialization
where it can silently drop replies to connection requests.
Because no reply is sent, kata waits for 10 seconds and in the
end it generates a connection timeout error in HybridVSockDialer.

Fixes: #8291

Subject: [PATCH] vsock/virtio: initialize the_virtio_vsock before using VQs
Once VQs are filled with empty buffers and we kick the host, it can send
connection requests. If the_virtio_vsock is not initialized before,
replies are silently dropped and do not reach the host.
virtio_transport_send_pkt() can queue packets once the_virtio_vsock is
set, but they won't be processed until vsock->tx_run is set to true. We
queue vsock->send_pkt_work when initialization finishes to send those
packets queued earlier.
