[PATCH net] nfc: llcp: fix UAF on socket in nfc_llcp_tx_work()

Shuangpeng Bai reported a slab-use-after-free in nfc_llcp_tx_work():

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
  Write of size 4 at addr ffff88811da9cb94 by task kworker/0:0/9
  Call Trace:
   _raw_spin_lock_irqsave (kernel/locking/spinlock.c:166)
   skb_queue_tail (net/core/skbuff.c:4114)
   nfc_llcp_tx_work (net/nfc/llcp_core.c:848)

When transmitting an I-frame, nfc_llcp_tx_work() creates a copy via
skb_copy() to keep in tx_pending_queue. If the socket is closed
concurrently, freeing the original skb during nfc_data_exchange()
drops sk_wmem_alloc to 0 and destroys the socket before copy_skb is
queued to llcp_sock->tx_pending_queue.

Call skb_set_owner_w(copy_skb, sk) to keep the socket alive while
copy_skb is queued.

Fixes: be02b6b62400 ("NFC: Queue a copy of the transmitted LLCP skb")
