Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] tipc: set con sock in tipc_conn_alloc

A crash was reported by Wei Chen:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
  RIP: 0010:tipc_conn_close+0x12/0x100
  Call Trace:
   tipc_topsrv_exit_net+0x139/0x320
   ops_exit_list.isra.9+0x49/0x80
   cleanup_net+0x31a/0x540
   process_one_work+0x3fa/0x9f0
   worker_thread+0x42/0x5c0

It was caused by !con->sock in tipc_conn_close(). In tipc_topsrv_accept(),
con is allocated in conn_idr then its sock is set:

  con = tipc_conn_alloc();
  ...                    <----[1]
  con->sock = newsock;

If tipc_conn_close() is called in anytime of [1], the null-pointer-def
is triggered by con->sock->sk due to con->sock is not yet set.

This patch fixes it by moving the con->sock setting to tipc_conn_alloc()
under s->idr_lock. So that con->sock can never be NULL when getting the
con from s->conn_idr. It will be also safer to move con->server and flag
CF_CONNECTED setting under s->idr_lock, as they should all be set before
tipc_conn_alloc() is called.

Fixes: c5fa7b3cf3cb ("tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure")
