tcp: fix NULL pointer dereference when restarting a Fast Open listener

When a valid RST is received for a Fast Open child accepted before the
three-way handshake completes, reqsk_fastopen_remove() adds the
request_sock to the listener's RST list if the listener is in TCP_LISTEN.

An application can call shutdown(SHUT_RD) on a listener socket.
inet_csk_listen_stop() checks rskq_rst_head without holding
fastopenq.lock. If rskq_rst_head is NULL, it does not acquire the lock
and therefore does not synchronize with an insertion by
reqsk_fastopen_remove() after that function has passed the TCP_LISTEN
check.

The more likely outcome of this race, even without a subsequent
listen(), is a leak. If reqsk_fastopen_remove() inserts a request_sock
after inet_csk_listen_stop() observes an empty list and returns, the
request_sock is stranded in rskq_rst_head and keeps a reference on the
listener. The socket is already in TCP_CLOSE, so a subsequent close()
does not call inet_csk_listen_stop() again.

If listen() is called again on the same socket before the delayed list
insertion, the insertion can overlap the queue initialization in
reqsk_queue_alloc(). If it occurs after rskq_rst_head is set to NULL but
before rskq_rst_tail is set to NULL, rskq_rst_head points to the
request_sock while rskq_rst_tail is NULL.

When a valid RST is later received for another accepted Fast Open child,
rskq_rst_head is not NULL, so reqsk_fastopen_remove() attempts to write
the request_sock pointer to rskq_rst_tail->dl_next while rskq_rst_tail is
NULL. KASAN reports:

To widen the race window, the issue was reproduced after adding
mdelay(3000) immediately after reqsk_fastopen_remove() checks that the
listener is in TCP_LISTEN and immediately after reqsk_queue_alloc() sets
rskq_rst_head to NULL.

Make inet_csk_listen_stop() acquire fastopenq.lock regardless of the
value of rskq_rst_head and detach the list while holding the lock. With
this synchronization, reqsk_fastopen_remove() either inserts the
request_sock before inet_csk_listen_stop() acquires the lock, in which
case inet_csk_listen_stop() reclaims it, or sees that the listener is
not in TCP_LISTEN and does not insert anything.
