[Devel] [PATCH 4/4] Fix the race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone()

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement
until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a
chance to get the reference on the cloned filter.

Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only
and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead
anyway and is to be release itself.
