[azure][PATCH 06/14] UBUNTU: SAUCE: VMCI: only try to load on VMware hypervisor

From: Dexuan Cui <decui at microsoft.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698425

Without the patch, vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko and vmw_vmci.ko can
automatically load when an application creates an AF_VSOCK socket.

This is the expected good behavior on VMware hypervisor, but as we
are adding hv_sock.ko (i.e. Hyper-V transport for AF_VSOCK), we should
make sure vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko can't load on Hyper-V, otherwise
there is a -EBUSY conflict when both vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko and
hv_sock.ko try to call vsock_core_init().

On the other hand, hv_sock.ko can only load on Hyper-V, because it
depends on hv_vmbus.ko, which deteces Hyper-V in hv_acpi_init().

KVM's vsock_virtio_transport doesn't have the issue because it doesn't
define MODULE_ALIAS_NETPROTO(PF_VSOCK).
