WHen an llc sock is added into the sk_laddr_hash of an llc_sap,
it is not marked with SOCK_RCU_FREE.

This causes that the sock could be freed while it is still being
read by __llc_lookup_established() with RCU read lock. sock is
refcounted, but with RCU read lock, nothing prevents the readers
getting a zero refcnt.

Fix it by setting SOCK_RCU_FREE in llc_sap_add_socket().

<title>llc: delete timers synchronously in llc_sk_free()</title>

The connection timers of an llc sock could be still flying
after we delete them in llc_sk_free(), and even possibly
after we free the sock. We could just wait synchronously
here in case of troubles.

Note, I leave other call paths as they are, since they may
not have to wait, at least we can change them to synchronously
when needed.

Also, move the code to net/llc/llc_conn.c, which is apparently
a better place.

<title>llc: properly handle dev_queue_xmit() return value</title>

llc_conn_send_pdu() pushes the skb into write queue and
calls llc_conn_send_pdus() to flush them out. However, the
status of dev_queue_xmit() is not returned to caller,
in this case, llc_conn_state_process().

llc_conn_state_process() needs hold the skb no matter
success or failure, because it still uses it after that,
therefore we should hold skb before dev_queue_xmit() when
that skb is the one being processed by llc_conn_state_process().

For other callers, they can just pass NULL and ignore
the return value as they are.

to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of
atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint()
version of refcount API. If the hint() version must
be used, we might need to revisit API.

<content type='text'>
A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section.  Of course, that is not the
case.  Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.

However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety".  This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

It seems nobody used LLC since linux-3.12.

Fortunately fuzzers like syzkaller still know how to run this code,
otherwise it would be no fun.

Setting skb-&gt;sk without skb-&gt;destructor leads to all kinds of
bugs, we now prefer to be very strict about it.

Ideally here we would use skb_set_owner() but this helper does not exist yet,
only CAN seems to have a private helper for that.
