Subject: [RFC net] net: stream: don't purge sk_error_queue without holding its lock

sk_stream_kill_queues() can be called when there are still
outstanding skbs to transmit. Those skbs may try to queue
notifications to the error queue (e.g. timestamps).
If sk_stream_kill_queues() purges the queue without taking
its lock the queue may get corrupted.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>

Sending as an RFC for review, compile-tested only.

Seems far more likely that I'm missing something than that
this has been broken forever and nobody noticed :S
