Subject: dccp: Unlock sock before calling sk_free()

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d5afb6f9b6bb2c57bd0c05e76e12489dc0d037d9 ]

The code where sk_clone() came from created a new socket and locked it, but then, on the error path didn't unlock it.

This problem stayed there for a long while, till b0691c8ee7c2 ("net:
Unlock sock before calling sk_free()") fixed it, but unfortunately the callers of sk_clone() (now sk_clone_locked()) were not audited and the one in dccp_create_openreq_child() remained.

Now in the age of the syskaller fuzzer, this was finally uncovered, as reported by Dmitry:

I've got the following report while running syzkaller fuzzer on 86292b33d4b7 ("Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)")

Fix it just like was done by b0691c8ee7c2 ("net: Unlock sock before calling sk_free()").
