Michal Luczaj 041933a1ec af_unix: Fix garbage collection of embryos carrying OOB with SCM_RIGHTS
GC attempts to explicitly drop oob_skb's reference before purging the hit
list.

The problem is with embryos: kfree_skb(u->oob_skb) is never called on an
embryo socket.

The python script below [0] sends a listener's fd to its embryo as OOB
data.  While GC does collect the embryo's queue, it fails to drop the OOB
skb's refcount.  The skb which was in embryo's receive queue stays as
unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb and keeps the listener's refcount [1].

Tell GC to dispose embryo's oob_skb.

from array import array
from socket import *

addr = '\x00unix-oob'
lis = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM)
lis.bind(addr)
lis.listen(1)

s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(addr)
scm = (SOL_SOCKET, SCM_RIGHTS, array('i', [lis.fileno()]))
s.sendmsg([b'x'], [scm], MSG_OOB)
lis.close()
