6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kun...@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 2e7cbbbe3d61c63606994b7ff73c72537afe2e1c ]

syzbot reported the splat below in tcp_conn_request(). [0]

If a listener is close()d while a TFO socket is being processed in
tcp_conn_request(), inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() does not set reqsk->sk
and calls inet_child_forget(), which calls tcp_disconnect() for the
TFO socket.

After the cited commit, tcp_disconnect() calls reqsk_fastopen_remove(),
where reqsk_put() is called due to !reqsk->sk.

Then, reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request() decrements the
last req->rsk_refcnt and frees reqsk, and __reqsk_free() at the
drop_and_free label causes the refcount underflow for the listener
and double-free of the reqsk.

Let's remove reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().

Note that other callers make sure tp->fastopen_rsk is not NULL.

[0]:
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
