Actually, on further reflection here, in order for the vsk->transport to
be called in time for ->dgram_addr_init(), it is going to be necessary
to call vsock_assign_transport() in vsock_dgram_bind() anyway.

I think this means that the vsock_assign_transport() call can be removed
from vsock_create() call entirely, and yet VMCI can still dispatch
messages upon bind() calls as needed.

This would then simplify the whole arrangement, if there aren't other
unseen issues.
