CVE-2024-46763

fou: Fix null-ptr-deref in GRO.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fou: Fix null-ptr-deref in GRO.

We observed a null-ptr-deref in fou_gro_receive() while shutting down
a host.  [0]

The NULL pointer is sk->sk_user_data, and the offset 8 is of protocol
in struct fou.

When fou_release() is called due to netns dismantle or explicit tunnel
teardown, udp_tunnel_sock_release() sets NULL to sk->sk_user_data.
Then, the tunnel socket is destroyed after a single RCU grace period.

So, in-flight udp4_gro_receive() could find the socket and execute the
FOU GRO handler, where sk->sk_user_data could be NULL.

Let's use rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() in fou_from_sock() and add NULL
checks in FOU GRO handlers.
