Here are some miscellaneous AF_RXRPC fixes:
(1) Make sure rxrpc_verify_data() allocates a buffer, even if the DATA packet
being looked at is zero length to avoid potential NULL-pointer
exceptions.
(2) Don't move an OOB message (e.g. an RxGK CHALLENGE) off the receive queue
onto the pending queue in recvmsg() if MSG_PEEK is specified.
(3) Fix a potential UAF in rxgk_issue_challenge() in which a tracepoint
refers to memory just freed by a different pointer.
(4) Fix afs net namespace teardown to cancel the incoming call preallocation
charger before we disable listening (which will delete the preallocation
queue).
(5) Fix rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() to use the socket mutex to defend
against listen(0)/shutdown simultaneously deleting the preallocation queue.

rxrpc_recvmsg_data() calls rxrpc_verify_data() whenever the
rxrpc_call.rx_dec_buffer is unallocated and assumes that upon
successful return that rx_dec_buffer must be allocated.
However, rxrpc_verify_data() does not request an allocation if
the rxrpc_skb_priv.len is zero.
In addition, failure to allocate rx_dec_buffer will result in a
call to skb_copy_bits() with a NULL destination which can
trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
To prevent these issues rxrpc_verify_data() is modified to
always attempt to allocate the rxrpc_call.rx_dec_buffer if it
is NULL.
This issue was identified with assistance of a private
sashiko instance.

rxrpc_recvmsg_oob() takes a received oob message off recvmsg_oobq and,
if a response is needed, moves it onto the pending_oobq tree. However,
only the unlink from recvmsg_oobq is guarded by MSG_PEEK; the move onto
pending_oobq always runs.
As a result, reading a challenge with MSG_PEEK leaves the skb on
recvmsg_oobq while also adding it to pending_oobq. Since struct
sk_buff's rbnode shares storage with its next and prev pointers,
rb_insert_color() overwrites the list linkage, and the skb, which holds
a single reference, becomes reachable from both queues at once.
When the socket is closed both queues are drained in turn. While
draining recvmsg_oobq, __skb_unlink() follows the next and prev
pointers that rbnode has overwritten and writes to a bad address. Also,
as the skb holds a single reference but is freed from each queue, both
the skb and the connection reference it holds are released twice. This
leads to memory corruption and to a use-after-free caused by the
connection refcount underflow.
MSG_PEEK does not consume the message from the queue, so only unlink it
from recvmsg_oobq and then move it onto pending_oobq or free it when
the message is actually consumed.

Fix the teardown of an afs network namespace to make sure it cancels the
work item that keeps the preallocated rxrpc call/conn/peer queue charged
before incoming calls are disabled (i.e. listen 0).
Also, if net->live is false because the afs netns is being deleted, make
afs_charge_preallocation() skip charging and make afs_rx_new_call() avoid
requeuing the charger.

rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() reads rx->backlog without any
socket/backlog synchronization and passes that raw pointer into
rxrpc_service_prealloc_one(). A concurrent rxrpc_discard_prealloc()
sets rx->backlog = NULL and frees the backlog rings, so a kernel
preallocation worker can keep using a freed struct rxrpc_backlog
while updating *_backlog_head/tail and array slots.
Serialize the state check and backlog lookup with the socket lock,
and reject kernel preallocation once teardown has disabled
listening or discarded the service backlog.
