ping: Fix potentail NULL deref for /proc/net/icmp.
[ Upstream commit ab5fb73ffa01072b4d8031cc05801fa1cb653bee ]
After commit dbca1596bbb0 ("ping: convert to RCU lookups, get rid
of rwlock"), we use RCU for ping sockets, but we should use spinlock
for /proc/net/icmp to avoid a potential NULL deref mentioned in
the previous patch.
Let's go back to using spinlock there.
Note we can convert ping sockets to use hlist instead of hlist_nulls
because we do not use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for ping sockets.
Fixes: dbca1596bbb0 ("ping: convert to RCU lookups, get rid of rwlock")
