Subject: tcp/dccp: fix lockdep splat in inet_csk_route_req()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit a6ca7abe53633d08eea1c6756cb49c9b2d4c90bf ]

This patch fixes the following lockdep splat in inet_csk_route_req()

  lockdep_rcu_suspicious
  inet_csk_route_req
  tcp_v4_send_synack
  tcp_rtx_synack
  inet_rtx_syn_ack
  tcp_fastopen_synack_time
  tcp_retransmit_timer
  tcp_write_timer_handler
  tcp_write_timer
  call_timer_fn

Thread running inet_csk_route_req() owns a reference on the request
socket, so we have the guarantee ireq->ireq_opt wont be changed or
freed.

lockdep can enforce this invariant for us.
