vsock: Fix transport_* TOCTOU

Transport assignment may race with module unload. Protect new_transport
from becoming a stale pointer.

This also takes care of an insecure call in vsock_use_local_transport();
add a lockdep assert.

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff8056000
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN
RIP: 0010:vsock_assign_transport+0x366/0x600
