virtio: set skb owner of virtio_transport_reset_no_sock() reply

Browse source

Associate reply packets with the sending socket. When vsock must reply
with an RST packet and there exists a sending socket (e.g., for
loopback), setting the skb owner to the socket correctly handles
reference counting between the skb and sk (i.e., the sk stays alive
until the skb is freed).

This allows the net namespace to be used for socket lookups for the
duration of the reply skb's lifetime, preventing race conditions between
the namespace lifecycle and vsock socket search using the namespace
pointer.
