commit 78dafe1cf3afa02ed71084b350713b07e72a18fb upstream. During socket release, sock_orphan() is called without considering that it sets sk->sk_wq to NULL. Later, if SO_LINGER is enabled, this leads to a null pointer dereferenced in virtio_transport_wait_close(). Orphan the socket only after transport release. Partially reverts the 'Fixes:' commit.
