Subject[PATCH 3.2 189/221] ping: Fix race in free in receive path
3.2.69-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "subashab@codeaurora.org" <subashab@codeaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit fc752f1f43c1c038a2c6ae58cc739ebb5953ccb0 ]

An exception is seen in ICMP ping receive path where the skb
destructor sock_rfree() tries to access a freed socket. This happens
because ping_rcv() releases socket reference with sock_put() and this
internally frees up the socket. Later icmp_rcv() will try to free the
skb and as part of this, skb destructor is called and which leads
to a kernel panic as the socket is freed already in ping_rcv().

-->|exception
-007|sk_mem_uncharge
-007|sock_rfree
-008|skb_release_head_state
-009|skb_release_all
-009|__kfree_skb
-010|kfree_skb
-011|icmp_rcv
-012|ip_local_deliver_finish

Fix this incorrect free by cloning this skb and processing this cloned
skb instead.
