Subject: [PATCH 4.11 24/88] rds: tcp: use sock_create_lite() to create the accept socket

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

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

From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@...cle.com>


[ Upstream commit 0933a578cd55b02dc80f219dc8f2efb17ec61c9a ]

There are two problems with calling sock_create_kern() from
rds_tcp_accept_one()
1. it sets up a new_sock->sk that is wasteful, because this ->sk
   is going to get replaced by inet_accept() in the subsequent ->accept()
2. The new_sock->sk is a leaked reference in sock_graft() which
   expects to find a null parent->sk

Avoid these problems by calling sock_create_lite().
