usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a socket pointer address
When a client has a USB device attached over IP, the vhci_hcd driver is locally leaking a socket pointer address via the /sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/status file (world-readable) and in debug output when "usbip --debug port" is run. Fix it to not leak. The socket pointer address is not used at the moment and it was made visible as a convenient way to find IP address from socket pointer address by looking up /proc/net/{tcp,tcp6}. As this opens a security hole, the fix replaces socket pointer address with sockfd.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
