The sk_alloc() function suffers from two problems:
1 (major). The error path is not clean in it - if the security
call fails, the net namespace is not put, if the try_module_get
fails additionally the security context is not released;
2 (minor). The zero_it argument is misleading, as it doesn't just
zeroes it, but performs some extra setup. Besides this argument
is used only in one place - in the sk_clone().
So this set fixes these problems and performs some additional
cleanup.
