    vsock: initialize child_ns_mode_locked in vsock_net_init()

    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.
