Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] net: mctp: add an explicit reference from a mctp_sk_key to sock

Currently, we correlate the mctp_sk_key lifetime to the sock lifetime
through the sock hash/unhash operations, but this is pretty tenuous, and
there are cases where we may have a temporary reference to an unhashed
sk.

This change makes the reference more explicit, by adding a hold on the
sock when it's associated with a mctp_sk_key, released on final key
unref.

Fixes: 73c618456dc5 ("mctp: locking, lifetime and validity changes for sk_keys")
