The following 3 locks would race against each other, causing the
deadlock situation in the Syzbot bug report:

- j1939_socks_lock
- active_session_list_lock
- sk_session_queue_lock

A reasonable fix is to change j1939_socks_lock to an rwlock, since in
the rare situations where a write lock is required for the linked list
that j1939_socks_lock is protecting, the code does not attempt to
acquire any more locks. This would break the circular lock dependency,
where, for example, the current thread already locks j1939_socks_lock
and attempts to acquire sk_session_queue_lock, and at the same time,
another thread attempts to acquire j1939_socks_lock while holding
sk_session_queue_lock.

NOTE: This patch along does not fix the unregister_netdevice bug
reported by Syzbot; instead, it solves a deadlock situation to prepare
for one or more further patches to actually fix the Syzbot bug, which
appears to be a reference counting problem within the j1939 codebase.

#syz test:

This crash does not have a reproducer. I cannot test it.

To stress this code path, the socket should be configured with err queue
enabled. For example like this:

        value = 1;
        setsockopt(priv->sock, SOL_CAN_J1939, SO_J1939_ERRQUEUE, &value,
                         sizeof(value));

        sock_opt = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE |
                   SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_CMSG |
                   SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK |
                   SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED |
                   SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY |
                   SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE;

        setsockopt(priv->sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMPING,
                       (char *) &sock_opt, sizeof(sock_opt));


I hope it will help to create the reproducer

Oleksij
