6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mahanta Jambigi <mjambigi@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 8acf691d8017012e1476c30e7381513c1e929c94 ]

smc_sk_init() calls sk->sk_prot->hash(sk) before several fields are
fully initialised: clcsock_release_lock, the saved clcsk_* callbacks,
use_fallback/fallback_rsn, and conn.close_work.  Once hash() returns the
socket is visible to concurrent hash walkers, which can then observe
uninitialised state.

Move hash(sk) to the end of smc_sk_init() so the socket is published
only after it is fully constructed.

Fixes: d0e35656d834 ("net/smc: refactoring initialization of smc sock")
