tcp: tcp_child_process() related UAF
tcp_child_process( .. child ...) currently calls sock_put(child). Unfortunately @child (named @nsk in callers) can be used after this point to send a RST packet. To fix this UAF, I remove the sock_put() from tcp_child_process() and let the callers handle this after it is safe. Remove @rsk variable in tcp_v4_do_rcv() and change tcp_v6_do_rcv() so that both functions look the same. Fixes: cfb6eeb4c860 ("[TCP]: MD5 Signature Option (RFC2385) support.")
