The `child_ns_mode_locked` field lives in `struct net`, which persists
across vsock module reloads. When the module is unloaded and reloaded,
`vsock_net_init()` resets `mode` and `child_ns_mode` back to their
default values, but does not reset `child_ns_mode_locked`.
The stale lock from the previous module load causes subsequent writes
to `child_ns_mode` to silently fail: `vsock_net_set_child_mode()` sees
the old lock, skips updating the actual value, and returns success
when the requested mode matches the stale lock. The sysctl handler
reports no error, but `child_ns_mode` remains unchanged.
Steps to reproduce:
$ modprobe vsock
$ echo local > /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode
$ cat /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode
local
$ modprobe -r vsock
$ modprobe vsock
$ echo local > /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode
$ cat /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode
global <--- expected "local"
Fix this by initializing `child_ns_mode_locked` to 0 (unlocked) in
`vsock_net_init()`, so the write-once mechanism works correctly after
module reload.
