[ Upstream commit 1dbfb0363224f6da56f6655d596dc5097308d6f5 ]

Per family bind/unbind callbacks were introduced to allow families
to track multicast group consumer presence, e.g. to start or stop
producing events depending on listeners.

However, in genl_bind() the bind() callback was invoked even if
capability checks failed and ret was set to -EPERM. This means that
callbacks could run on behalf of unauthorized callers while the
syscall still returned failure to user space.

Fix this by only invoking bind() after "if (ret) break;" check
i.e. after permission checks have succeeded.

Followup of commit c51da3f7a161 ("net: remove sock_i_uid()")

A recent syzbot report was the trigger for this change.

Over the years, we had many problems caused by the
read_lock[_bh](&sk->sk_callback_lock) in sock_i_uid().

Instead of waiting for new syzbot reports, cache the socket

This then trigger the following warning from ref_tracker_dir_exit() [1] To fix this, make sure that kernel sockets own a reference on net->passive. Add sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() helper, used whenever a kernel socket is converted to a refcounted one.

While kernel sockets are dismantled during pernet_operations->exit(),
their freeing can be delayed by any tx packets still held in qdisc
or device queues, due to skb_set_owner_w() prior calls.

This then trigger the following warning from ref_tracker_dir_exit() [1]

To fix this, make sure that kernel sockets own a reference on net->passive.

Add sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() helper, used whenever a kernel socket
is converted to a refcounted one.

When we terminated the dump, the callback isn't running, so cb_running
should be set to false to be logically consistent.

cb_running signifies whether a dump is ongoing. It is set to true in
cb->start(), and is checked in netlink_dump() to be true initially.
After the dump, it is set to false in the same function.

This is just a cleanup, no path should access this field on a closed
socket.
