[PATCH net-next v3 3/3] vsock/test: Cover more CIDs in transport_uaf test
Increase the coverage of test for UAF due to socket unbinding, and losing
transport in general. It's a follow up to commit 301a62dfb0d0 ("vsock/test:
Add test for UAF due to socket unbinding") and discussion in [1].
The idea remains the same: take an unconnected stream socket with a
transport assigned and then attempt to switch the transport by trying (and
failing) to connect to some other CID. Now do this iterating over all the
well known CIDs (plus one).
While at it, drop the redundant synchronization between client and server.
Some single-transport setups can't be tested effectively; a warning is
issued. Depending on transports available, a variety of splats are possible
on unpatched machines. After reverting commit 78dafe1cf3af ("vsock: Orphan
socket after transport release") and commit fcdd2242c023 ("vsock: Keep the
