syzbot is reporting use-after-free read in tcp_retransmit_timer() [1],
for TCP socket used by RDS is accessing sock_net() without acquiring a
refcount on net namespace. Since TCP's retransmission can happen after
a process which created net namespace terminated, we need to explicitly
acquire a refcount.

Reported-by: syzbot <redacted>
Fixes: 26abe14379f8e2fa ("net: Modify sk_alloc to not reference count the netns of kernel sockets.")
Fixes: 8a68173691f03661 ("net: sk_clone_lock() should only do get_net() if the parent is not a kernel socket")

Changes in v2:
Add Fixes: tag.
Move to inside lock_sock() section.
I chose 26abe14379f8e2fa and 8a68173691f03661 which went to 4.2 for Fixes: tag,
for refcount was implicitly taken when 70041088e3b97662 ("RDS: Add TCP transport
to RDS") was added to 2.6.32.
