    netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()
    
    [ Upstream commit 0b9130247f3b6a1122478471ff0e014ea96bb735 ]
    
    syzbot reported a memory leak in nr_create() [0].
    
    Commit 409db27e3a2e ("netrom: Fix use-after-free of a listening socket.")
    added sock_hold() to the nr_heartbeat_expiry() function, where
    a) a socket has a SOCK_DESTROY flag or
    b) a listening socket has a SOCK_DEAD flag.
    
    But in the case "a," when the SOCK_DESTROY flag is set, the file descriptor
    has already been closed and the nr_release() function has been called.
    So it makes no sense to hold the reference count because no one will
    call another nr_destroy_socket() and put it as in the case "b."
    
    nr_connect
      nr_establish_data_link
        nr_start_heartbeat
    
    nr_release
      switch (nr->state)
      case NR_STATE_3
        nr->state = NR_STATE_2
        sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY);
    
                            nr_rx_frame
                              nr_process_rx_frame
                                switch (nr->state)
                                case NR_STATE_2
                                  nr_state2_machine()
                                    nr_disconnect()
                                      nr_sk(sk)->state = NR_STATE_0
                                      sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)
    
                            nr_heartbeat_expiry
                              switch (nr->state)
                              case NR_STATE_0
                                if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY) ||
                                   (sk->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN
                                     && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)))
                                   sock_hold()  // ( !!! )
                                   nr_destroy_socket()
    
    To fix the memory leak, let's call sock_hold() only for a listening socket.
