3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com> commit 9ac25fc063751379cb77434fef9f3b088cd3e2f7 upstream. TX skbs do not necessarily hold a reference on skb->sk->sk_refcnt By the time TX completion happens, sk_refcnt might be already 0. sock_hold()/sock_put() would then corrupt critical state, like sk_wmem_alloc and lead to leaks or use after free.
