Currently vsock_connectible_has_data() may miss a wakeup operation
between vsock_connectible_has_data() == 0 and the prepare_to_wait().

Fix the race by adding the process to the wait qeuue before checking

s/qeuue/queue

vsock_connectible_has_data().

Since we are going to call again prepare_to_wait() on top of the loop, is finish_wait() call here really needed?

What about following what we do in vsock_accept and vsock_connect?

    prepare_to_wait()

    while (condition) {
        ...
        prepare_to_wait();
    }

    finish_wait()

I find it a little more readable, but your solution is fine too.

Thanks,
Stefano
