Fernando Fernandez Mancera 021fd0f870 net/rds: fix recursive lock in rds_tcp_conn_slots_available
syzbot reported a recursive lock warning in rds_tcp_get_peer_sport() as
it calls inet6_getname() which acquires the socket lock that was already
held by __release_sock().

 kworker/u8:6/2985 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffff88807a07aa20 (k-sk_lock-AF_INET6){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: lock_sock include/net/sock.h:1709 [inline]

 but task is already holding lock:

Reading from the socket struct directly is safe from possible paths. For
rds_tcp_accept_one(), the socket has just been accepted and is not yet
exposed to concurrent access. For rds_tcp_conn_slots_available(), direct
access avoids the recursive deadlock seen during backlog processing
where the socket lock is already held from the __release_sock().

However, rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() is also called from the normal
softirq path via tcp_data_ready() where the lock is not held. This is
also safe because inet_dport is a stable 16 bits field. A READ_ONCE()
annotation as the value might be accessed lockless in a concurrent
access context.

Note that it is also safe to call rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() from
rds_conn_shutdown() because the fan-out is disabled.
