[Devel] [PATCH v3 1/1] vhost/vsock: suppress EHOSTUNREACH fast-fail during CPR pause

QEMU's CPR live update issues VHOST_VSOCK_SET_RUNNING(0) on the source
before VHOST_RESET_OWNER, nulling vq->private_data via
vhost_vsock_drop_backends(). The fast-fail in vhost_transport_send_pkt()
added by commit 4ff28534c799 ("ms/vhost/vsock: Refuse the connection
immediately when guest isn't ready") then rejects every host send with
-EHOSTUNREACH until the destination calls SET_RUNNING(1) -- the entire
CPR window becomes a hard outage for host AF_VSOCK clients
(VSTOR-131956).
Add a cpr_paused flag set inside vhost_vsock_drop_backends() when the
backend was previously live, cleared by vhost_vsock_start(). When set,
vhost_transport_send_pkt() queues the skb instead of fast-failing; the
existing kick of send_pkt_work in vhost_vsock_start() drains it on
resume. A device that has never run keeps cpr_paused == false and the
boot-time fast-fail behaviour is preserved.
The flag is set before dropping backends so a concurrent sender on
another CPU never observes (NULL backend, !paused).
