[net-next PATCH 1/3] net: fix race bug in fragmentation create code

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>]

During creation of a new inet_frag_queue, the lru_list pointer is
updated after releasing the hash bucket lock, which can lead to a
race condition (and panic), if the inet_frag_queue is deleted
(very quickly) before the lru_list is valid.

This race condition is should not be able to occur with current
LRU based evictor.  For the planned direct hash based
evictor/clean strategy, this race condition is more likely to
occur.
