It is needed because the "the_virtio_vsock" returned by
virtio_vsock_get() is initialized during the probe and freed during
the removal.
So, if we move the vsock_core_exit() in the virtio_vsock_exit(), can
happen that the virtio_transport_get_local_cid() is called when the
"the_virtio_vsock" is NULL.

Do you think is better to split this patch?

Thanks,
Stefano
