Loading vmw_vsock_virtio_transport early at boot causes vsock to be resident before any application opens an AF_VSOCK socket. Because the kernel skips autoloading when the vsock module is already present, vsock_loopback never gets loaded automatically, and any subsequent bind() to VMADDR_CID_LOCAL fails with EADDRNOTAVAIL. Fix this by explicitly loading vsock_loopback on virtio or VMWare machines via the new may_have_vsock_looopback() helper, wich covers both vmw_vsock_virtio_transport and vmware_vsock_vmci_transport case. vsock_loopback is the only module that registers a transport for VMADDR_CID_LOCAL (CID 1) and has no hard dependency from any of the vsock transport modules. Fixes: #41100 Follow-up for 381c78db491a7c5fad8697543dd36ebe9b848718
