Subject: [082/114] can-raw: Fix skb_orphan_try handling

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@...tkopp.net>

commit cff0d6e6edac7672b3f915bb4fb59f279243b7f9 upstream.

Commit fc6055a5ba31e2c14e36e8939f9bf2b6d586a7f5 (net: Introduce
skb_orphan_try()) allows an early orphan of the skb and takes care on
tx timestamping, which needs the sk-reference in the skb on driver level.
So does the can-raw socket, which has not been taken into account here.

The patch below adds a 'prevent_sk_orphan' bit in the skb tx shared info,
which fixes the problem discovered by Matthias Fuchs here:

      http://marc.info/?t=128030411900003&r=1&w=2

Even if it's not a primary tx timestamp topic it fits well into some skb
shared tx context. Or should be find a different place for the information to
protect the sk reference until it reaches the driver level?
