VSOCK: sock_put wasn't safe to call in interrupt context
In the vsock vmci_transport driver, sock_put wasn't safe to call in interrupt context, since that may call the vsock destructor which in turn calls several functions that should only be called from process context. This change defers the callling of these functions to a worker thread. All these functions were deallocation of resources related to the transport itself. Furthermore, an unused callback was removed to simplify the cleanup. Multiple customers have been hitting this issue when using VMware tools on vSphere 2015. Also added a version to the vmci transport module (starting from 1.0.2.0-k since up until now it appears that this module was sharing version with vsock that is currently at 1.0.1.0-k).
