I don't think we should copy bugs like this.
Applications don't actually depend on this VMCI limitation, in fact
it looks like a working application can get broken by this.
So this looks like a userspace visible ABI change
which we can't really do.
If it turns out some application cares, it can always
fully close the connection. Or add an ioctl so the application
can find out whether half close works.
