[ 071/167] [PATCH 11/26] net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb()

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 110c43304db6f06490961529536c362d9ac5732f ]

As soon as an skb is queued into socket error queue, another thread
can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk
use after free.
