[PATCH 6.12 061/175] net/tcp: Fix socket memory leak in TCP-AO failure handling for IPv6

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@openai.com>

[ Upstream commit fa390321aba0a54d0f7ae95ee4ecde1358bb9234 ]

When tcp_ao_copy_all_matching() fails in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() it just
exits the function. This ends up causing a memory-leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff0000281a8200 (size 2496):
  comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4295174684
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    7f 00 00 06 7f 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 cb a8 88 13  ................
    0a 00 03 61 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ...a............

    __netif_receive_skb_list_core+0x16c/0x200
    netif_receive_skb_list_internal+0x1f0/0x2d0

This is because in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock (and the IPv4 counterpart), when
exiting upon error, inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() and tcp_done() need
to be called. They make sure the newsk will end up being correctly
free'd.

tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() makes this very clear by having the put_and_exit
label that takes care of things. So, this patch here makes sure
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock and tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock have similar
error-handling and thus fixes the leak for TCP-AO.
