[PATCH 5.15.y] can: raw: fix ro->uniq use-after-free in raw_rcv()

[ Upstream commit a535a9217ca3f2fccedaafb2fddb4c48f27d36dc ]

raw_release() unregisters raw CAN receive filters via can_rx_unregister(),
but receiver deletion is deferred with call_rcu(). This leaves a window
where raw_rcv() may still be running in an RCU read-side critical section
after raw_release() frees ro->uniq, leading to a use-after-free of the
percpu uniq storage.

Move free_percpu(ro->uniq) out of raw_release() and into a raw-specific
socket destructor. can_rx_unregister() takes an extra reference to the
socket and only drops it from the RCU callback, so freeing uniq from
sk_destruct ensures the percpu area is not released until the relevant
callbacks have drained.

Fixes: 514ac99c64b2 ("can: fix multiple delivery of a single CAN frame for overlapping CAN filters")
