hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK)

Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communication
mechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as the
transportation layer.

With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server
2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditional
socket APIs.

The patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a new
vsock transport for AF_VSOCK.
