    ms/packet: fix race condition in packet_set_ring
    
    When packet_set_ring creates a ring buffer it will initialize a
    struct timer_list if the packet version is TPACKET_V3. This value
    can then be raced by a different thread calling setsockopt to
    set the version to TPACKET_V1 before packet_set_ring has finished.
    
    This leads to a use-after-free on a function pointer in the
    struct timer_list when the socket is closed as the previously
    initialized timer will not be deleted.
    
    The bug is fixed by taking lock_sock(sk) in packet_setsockopt when
    changing the packet version while also taking the lock at the start
    of packet_set_ring.

    ============================================================
    CVE-2016-8655: Linux af_packet.c race condition (local root)
    
    Philip Pettersson discovered a race condition in the af_packet implementation
    in the Linux kernel. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a
    denial of service (system crash) or run arbitrary code with administrative
    privileges.
