Subject: net: avoid NULL deref in inet_ctl_sock_destroy()
From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 8fa677d2706d325d71dab91bf6e6512c05214e37 ]
Under low memory conditions, tcp_sk_init() and icmp_sk_init()
can both iterate on all possible cpus and call inet_ctl_sock_destroy(),
with eventual NULL pointer.
