Subject: tcp: fix a request socket leak
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 1f3b359f1004bd34b7b0bad70b93e3c7af92a37b ]
While the cited commit fixed a possible deadlock, it added a leak
of the request socket, since reqsk_put() must be called if the BPF
filter decided the ACK packet must be dropped.
Fixes: d624d276d1dd ("tcp: fix possible deadlock in TCP stack vs BPF filter")
