From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 8fa677d2706d325d71dab91bf6e6512c05214e37 ]

Under low memory conditions, tcp_sk_init() and icmp_sk_init()
can both iterate on all possible cpus and call inet_ctl_sock_destroy(),
with eventual NULL pointer.
