Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: Transitional solution for clcsock race issue
We encountered a crash in smc_setsockopt() and it is caused by
accessing smc->clcsock after clcsock was released.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
CPU: 1 PID: 50309 Comm: nginx Kdump: loaded Tainted: G E 5.16.0-rc4+ #53
RIP: 0010:smc_setsockopt+0x59/0x280 [smc]

This patch tries to fix it by holding clcsock_release_lock and
checking whether clcsock has already been released before access.
In case that a crash of the same reason happens in smc_getsockopt()
or smc_switch_to_fallback(), this patch also checkes smc->clcsock
in them too. And the caller of smc_switch_to_fallback() will identify
whether fallback succeeds according to the return value.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.19.299 < 4.20)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.1 < 5.15.19)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.16.5)
• linux linux kernel 5.17
