GPF in net sybsystem

Hi, netdev developers!

I've spent some time debugging this bug
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=c670fb9da2ce08f7b5101baa9426083b39ee9f90
and, I believe, I found the root case:

static int nr_accept(struct socket *sock, struct socket *newsock, int flags,
		     bool kern)
{
....
	for (;;) {
		prepare_to_wait(sk_sleep(sk), &wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
		...
		if (!signal_pending(current)) {
			release_sock(sk);
			schedule();
			lock_sock(sk);
			continue;
		}
		...
	}
...
}

When calling process will be scheduled, another proccess can release
this socket and set sk->sk_wq to NULL. (In this case nr_release()
will call sock_orphan(sk)). In this case GPF will happen in
prepare_to_wait().

I came up with this patch, but im not an expect in netdev sybsystem and
im not sure about this one:

diff --git a/net/netrom/af_netrom.c b/net/netrom/af_netrom.c
index 6d16e1ab1a8a..89ceddea48e8 100644

I look forward to hearing your perspective on this :)


BTW, I found similar code in:

1) net/ax25/af_ax25.c
2) net/rose/af_rose.c


I hope, this will help!
