Since hv_sock implements `set_rcvlowat` to return EOPNOTSUPP. maybe we 
can just do the following:

        if (transport && transport->set_rcvlowat)
                return transport->set_rcvlowat(vsk, val);

        WRITE_ONCE(sk->sk_rcvlowat, val ? : 1);
        return 0;

That is, the default behavior is to set sk->sk_rcvlowat, but for 
transports that want a different behavior, they need to define 
set_rcvlowat() (like hv_sock).
