vsock: Fix transport_* TOCTOU

jira VULN-80685
cve CVE-2025-38461
commit-author Michal Luczaj <mhal@rbox.co>
commit 687aa0c

Transport assignment may race with module unload. Protect new_transport
from becoming a stale pointer.

This also takes care of an insecure call in vsock_use_local_transport();
add a lockdep assert.

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff8056000
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN
