From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

commit b14361aca6350ff7907b0e9903c7b94dc7d5d4a0 upstream.

fou_create() publishes struct fou through sk_user_data before adding the
new FOU port to the per-netns list.  If fou_add_to_port_list() fails,
the error path frees fou while it is still reachable through
sk_user_data.  A concurrent receive can then dereference the freed
object in fou_from_sock().

This ordering issue was previously noted in the linked discussion.

The failure is reachable when local port 0 is requested.  Each socket
binds to a different ephemeral port, but fou_cfg_cmp() compares the
requested port 0 and reports -EALREADY once an entry already exists.

Release the tunnel socket before freeing fou so sk_user_data is cleared
first, and defer reclamation with kfree_rcu() to protect concurrent RCU
readers.  This matches the lifetime handling in fou_release().
