Subject: netfilter: drop outermost socket lock in getsockopt()
From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 01ea306f2ac2baff98d472da719193e738759d93 upstream.
The Syzbot reported a possible deadlock in the netfilter area caused by
rtnl lock, xt lock and socket lock being acquired with a different order
on different code paths, leading to the following backtrace:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
syzkaller233489/4179 is trying to acquire lock:
(rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<0000000048e996fd>] rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20
net/core/rtnetlink.c:74
but task is already holding lock:

xt_find_table_lock+0x3e/0x3e0 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:1041
which lock already depends on the new lock.
===
Since commit 3f34cfae1230 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock
only in the required scope"), we already acquire the socket lock in
the innermost scope, where needed. In such commit I forgot to remove
the outer-most socket lock from the getsockopt() path, this commit
addresses the issues dropping it now.
