PATCH 1/1 vsock: Make transport the proto owner

Right now the core vsock module is the owner of the proto family. This means there's nothing preventing the transport module from unloading if there are open sockets, which results in a panic. Fix that by allowing the transport to be the owner, which will refcount it properly.

Includes version bump to 1.0.1.0-k
