Since commit d7a04fd7d5008, tcp_chr_wait_connected() was introduced, so vhost-user could wait until a backend started successfully. In vhost-user case, the chr socket must be plain unix, and the chr+vhost setup happens synchronously during qemu startup.
However, with TLS and telnet socket, initial socket setup happens asynchronously, and s->connected is not set after the socket is accepted. In order for tcp_chr_wait_connected() to not keep accepting new connections and proceed with the last accepted socket, it can check for s->ioc instead.
