vsock: make listener child lock ordering explicit
There are several places where the listener and pending or accept queue child sockets are accessed at the same time. Lockdep is unhappy that two locks from the same class are held. Tell lockdep that it is safe and document the lock ordering. Originally Claudio Imbrenda <imbrenda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> sent a similar patch asking whether this is safe. I have audited the code and also covered the vsock_pending_work() function.
