[PATCH net] af_key: free SKBs under RCU protection

[Sean Tranchetti <stranche@codeaurora.org>]

pfkey_broadcast() can make calls to pfkey_broadcast_one() which
will clone or copy the passed in SKB. This new SKB will be assigned
the sock_rfree() function as its destructor, which requires that
the socket reference the SKB contains is valid when the SKB is freed.

If this SKB is ever passed to pfkey_broadcast() again by some other
function (such as pkfey_dump() or pfkey_promisc) it will then be
freed there. However, since this free occurs outside of RCU protection,
it is possible that userspace could close the socket and trigger
pfkey_release() to free the socket before sock_rfree() can run, creating
the following race condition:

1: An SKB belonging to the pfkey socket is passed to pfkey_broadcast().
   It performs the broadcast to any other sockets, and calls
   rcu_read_unlock(), but does not yet reach kfree_skb().
2: Userspace closes the socket, triggering pfkey_realse(). Since no one
   holds the RCU lock, synchronize_rcu() returns and it is allowed to
   continue. It calls sock_put() to free the socket.
3: pfkey_broadcast() now calls kfree_skb() on the original SKB it was
   passed, triggering a call to sock_rfree(). This function now accesses
   the freed struct sock * via skb->sk, and attempts to update invalid
   memory.

By ensuring that the pfkey_broadcast() also frees the SKBs while it holds
the RCU lock, we can ensure that the socket will remain valid when the SKB
is freed, avoiding crashes like the following:
