[PATCH 5.11 08/31] net: qrtr: Avoid potential use after free in MHI send

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@linaro.org>

commit 47a017f33943278570c072bc71681809b2567b3a upstream.

It is possible that the MHI ul_callback will be invoked immediately
following the queueing of the skb for transmission, leading to the
callback decrementing the refcount of the associated sk and freeing the
skb.

As such the dereference of skb and the increment of the sk refcount must
happen before the skb is queued, to avoid the skb to be used after free
and potentially the sk to drop its last refcount..
