Yes, seems i missed it, because several months ago we had similar question for send
logic:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg4611091.html
And it was ok to not handle VMCI send path in this way. So i think current implementation
for tx is a little bit buggy, because VMCI specific error from 'vmci_qpair_enquev()' is
returned to af_vsock.c. I think error conversion must be added to VMCI transport for tx
also.

Good thing is that Hyper-V uses general error codes.

Thanks, Arseniy
