From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varad...@oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit 0933a578cd55b02dc80f219dc8f2efb17ec61c9a ]
There are two problems with calling sock_create_kern() from
rds_tcp_accept_one()
1. it sets up a new_sock->sk that is wasteful, because this ->sk
is going to get replaced by inet_accept() in the subsequent ->accept()
2. The new_sock->sk is a leaked reference in sock_graft() which
expects to find a null parent->sk
Avoid these problems by calling sock_create_lite().
