Subject: inet: fix race in reqsk_queue_unlink()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 2306c704ce280c97a60d1f45333b822b40281dea ]

reqsk_timer_handler() tests if icsk_accept_queue.listen_opt
is NULL at its beginning.

By the time it calls inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() and
reqsk_queue_unlink(), listener might have been closed and
inet_csk_listen_stop() had called reqsk_queue_yank_acceptq()
which sets icsk_accept_queue.listen_opt to NULL

We therefore need to correctly check listen_opt being NULL
after holding syn_wait_lock for proper synchronization.

Fixes: b357a364c57c ("inet: fix possible panic in reqsk_queue_unlink()")
