Subject: socket, bpf: fix possible use after free

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit eefca20eb20c66b06cf5ed09b49b1a7caaa27b7b ]

Starting from linux-4.4, 3WHS no longer takes the listener lock.

Since this time, we might hit a use-after-free in sk_filter_charge(), if the filter we got in the memcpy() of the listener content just happened to be replaced by a thread changing listener BPF filter.

To fix this, we need to make sure the filter refcount is not already zero before incrementing it again.

Fixes e994b2f0fb92 ("tcp: do not lock listener to process SYN packets")
