Subject: [PATCH] tcp: dont handle MTU reduction on LISTEN socket

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

When an ICMP ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED (or ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG) message finds a
LISTEN socket, and this socket is currently owned by the user, we
set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED flag in listener tsq_flags.

This is bad because if we clone the parent before it had a chance to
clear the flag, the child inherits the tsq_flags value, and next
tcp_release_cb() on the child will decrement sk_refcnt.

Result is that we might free a live TCP socket, as reported by
Dormando.

IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1

Fix this issue by testing sk_state against TCP_LISTEN early, so that we
set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED on appropriate sockets (not a LISTEN one)

This bug was introduced in commit 563d34d05786
(tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications)
