Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Missing sk_nulls_node_init() in ping_unhash().

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a134f083e79fb4c3d0a925691e732c56911b4326 ]

If we don't do that, then the poison value is left in the ->pprev
backlink.

This can cause crashes if we do a disconnect, followed by a connect().
