Subject: appletalk: Fix socket referencing in skb
From: Andrey Utkin <andrey.krieger.utkin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 36beddc272c111689f3042bf3d10a64d8a805f93 ]
Setting just skb->sk without taking its reference and setting a
destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb
is used in a way not requiring skb->sk setting. So dropping the setting
of skb->sk.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx> for correct solution.
