[PATCH net] tcp: fix a request socket leak

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-08 19:44:50

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

While the cited commit fixed a possible deadlock, it added a leak
of the request socket, since reqsk_put() must be called if the BPF
filter decided the ACK packet must be dropped.

Fixes: d624d276d1dd ("tcp: fix possible deadlock in TCP stack vs BPF filter")

David, this is a stable candidate (linux-4.13 has this bug)

Thanks for the fix

.. since the fix makes sense to me and as a reminder not to forget
to backport it as well :)
