Alexander reported various KASAN messages triggered in recent kernels 

The problem is that ping sockets should not use udp_poll() in the first
place, and recent changes in UDP stack finally exposed this old bug.

Fixes: c319b4d76b9e ("net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind")
Fixes: 6d0bfe226116 ("net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.")
