inet: fix possible panic in reqsk_queue_unlink()
[ 3897.923145] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
0000000000000080
[ 3897.931025] IP: [<ffffffffa9f27686>] reqsk_timer_handler+0x1a6/0x243
There is a race when reqsk_timer_handler() and tcp_check_req() call
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_unlink() on the same req at the same time.
Before commit fa76ce7328b2 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener
timer"), listener spinlock was held and race could not happen.
To solve this bug, we change reqsk_queue_unlink() to not assume req
must be found, and we return a status, to conditionally release a
refcount on the request sock.
This also means tcp_check_req() in non fastopen case might or not
consume req refcount, so tcp_v6_hnd_req() & tcp_v4_hnd_req() have
to properly handle this.
(Same remark for dccp_check_req() and its callers)
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() is now too big to be inlined, as it is
called 4 times in tcp and 3 times in dccp.
Fixes: fa76ce7328b2 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer")
