#1276854 — [PATCH 3.2 51/52] net: avoid NULL deref in inet_ctl_sock_destroy()

3.2.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 8fa677d2706d325d71dab91bf6e6512c05214e37 ]

Under low memory conditions, tcp_sk_init() and icmp_sk_init()
can both iterate on all possible cpus and call inet_ctl_sock_destroy(),
with eventual NULL pointer.
