[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.11 37/87] net: inet: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet_create()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9365fa510c6f82e3aa550a09d0c5c6b44dbc78ff ]

sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock
object. If inet_create() fails later, the sk object is freed, but the
sock object retains the dangling pointer, which may create use-after-free
later.

Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.
