Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix general protection fault in __smc_diag_dump
The syzbot report a crash:

The process like this:
(CPU1) | (CPU2)
---------------------------------|-------------------------------
inet_create() |
// init clcsock to NULL |
sk = sk_alloc() |
|
// unexpectedly change clcsock |
inet_init_csk_locks() |
|
// add sk to hash table |
smc_inet_init_sock() |
smc_sk_init() |
smc_hash_sk() |
| // traverse the hash table
| smc_diag_dump_proto
| __smc_diag_dump()
| // visit wrong clcsock
| smc_diag_msg_common_fill()
// alloc clcsock |
smc_create_clcsk |
sock_create_kern |
With CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, the smc->clcsock is unexpectedly changed
in inet_init_csk_locks(). The INET_PROTOSW_ICSK flag is no need by smc,
just remove it.
After removing the INET_PROTOSW_ICSK flag, this patch alse revert
commit 6fd27ea183c2 ("net/smc: fix lacks of icsk_syn_mss with IPPROTO_SMC")
to avoid casting smc_sock to inet_connection_sock.
