[RFC v4 5/6] virtio/vhost-vsock: Avoid lockdep warning

release the lock on the child socket before calling
virtio_transport_send_response . Thid avoids complaints from lockdep, but
I'm not sure it won't introduce race conditions.
This patch should be considered more as a hint, unless someone more
knowledgeable can confirm that it won't create problems.
