vsock_addr: Check for supported flag values

Check if the provided flags value from the vsock address data structure
includes the supported flags in the corresponding kernel version.

The first byte of the "svm_zero" field is used as "svm_flags", so add
the flags check instead.

VSOCK: Handle changes to the VMCI context ID.

The VMCI context ID of a virtual machine may change at any time. There
is a VMCI event which signals this but datagrams may be processed before
this is handled. It is therefore necessary to be flexible about the
destination context ID of any datagrams received. (It can be assumed to
be correct because it is provided by the hypervisor.) The context ID on
existing sockets should be updated to reflect how the hypervisor is
currently referring to the system.

VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets

VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.

Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.

The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.

For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:
