Subject: kcm: fix a socket double free

From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit c0338aff2260ea6c092806312dbb154cec07a242 ]

Dmitry reported a double free on kcm socket, which could
be easily reproduced by:

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>

	int main()
	{
	  int fd = syscall(SYS_socket, 0x29ul, 0x5ul, 0x0ul, 0, 0, 0);
	  syscall(SYS_ioctl, fd, 0x89e2ul, 0x20a98000ul, 0, 0, 0);
	  return 0;
	}

This is because on the error path, after we install
the new socket file, we call sock_release() to clean
up the socket, which leaves the fd pointing to a freed
socket. Fix this by calling sys_close() on that fd
directly.
