Subject: inet: fix possible seqlock deadlocks
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f1d8cba61c3c4b1eb88e507249c4cb8d635d9a76 ]
In commit c9e9042994d3 ("ipv4: fix possible seqlock deadlock") I left
another places where IP_INC_STATS_BH() were improperly used.
udp_sendmsg(), ping_v4_sendmsg() and tcp_v4_connect() are called from
process context, not from softirq context.
This was detected by lockdep seqlock support.
