Subject: net: ping: do not abuse udp_poll()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit 77d4b1d36926a9b8387c6b53eeba42bcaaffcea3 ]

Alexander reported various KASAN messages triggered in recent kernels

The problem is that ping sockets should not use udp_poll() in the first
place, and recent changes in UDP stack finally exposed this old bug.

Fixes: c319b4d76b9e ("net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind")
Fixes: 6d0bfe226116 ("net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.")
