Subject: [ 051/133] net: guard tcp_set_keepalive() to tcp sockets

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 3e10986d1d698140747fcfc2761ec9cb64c1d582 ]

Its possible to use RAW sockets to get a crash in
tcp_set_keepalive() / sk_reset_timer()

Fix is to make sure socket is a SOCK_STREAM one.
