This part contains no functional change.

Since virtio dgram uses transport_h2g/g2h instead of transport_dgram
(renamed totransport_dgam_fallback to in this patch) of VMCI, we
rename the flags here to describe the transport in a more accurate
way.

For a datagram vsock, during socket creation, if VMCI is present,
transport_dgram will be registered as a fallback.

During vsock_dgram_sendmsg(), we will always try to resolve the
transport to transport_h2g/g2h/local first and then fallback on
transport_dgram.

Let me know if there is anything that is confusing here.

Not a native English speaker either, but I think resolve is also
pretty accurate.
