Subject: vsock/virtio: Initialize core virtio vsock before registering the
driver

From: "Jorge E. Moreira" <jemoreira at google.com>

[ Upstream commit ba95e5dfd36647622d8897a2a0470dde60e59ffd ]

Avoid a race in which static variables in net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c are
accessed (while handling interrupts) before they are initialized.
