Subject: dccp: fix a memleak that dccp_ipv6 doesn't put reqsk properly

From: Xin Long <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 0c2232b0a71db0ac1d22f751aa1ac0cadb950fd2 ]

In dccp_v6_conn_request, after reqsk gets alloced and hashed into ehash table, reqsk's refcnt is set 3. one is for req->rsk_timer, one is for hlist, and the other one is for current using.

The problem is when dccp_v6_conn_request returns and finishes using reqsk, it doesn't put reqsk. This will cause reqsk refcnt leaks and reqsk obj never gets freed.

Jianlin found this issue when running dccp_memleak.c in a loop, the system memory would run out.

dccp_memleak.c:
int s1 = socket(PF_INET6, 6, IPPROTO_IP);
bind(s1, &sa1, 0x20);
listen(s1, 0x9);
int s2 = socket(PF_INET6, 6, IPPROTO_IP);
connect(s2, &sa1, 0x20);
close(s1);
close(s2);

This patch is to put the reqsk before dccp_v6_conn_request returns, just as what tcp_conn_request does.
