bpf, sockmap: Fix cork use-after-free in tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
tcp_bpf_sendmsg() keeps msg_tx across sk_stream_wait_memory(), which
drops and reacquires the socket lock. Its error path tries to decide
whether msg_tx names the local temporary message by comparing it with
the current value of psock->cork.
This comparison is unsafe when two threads send on the same socket:
Thread A Thread B
msg_tx = psock->cork
sk_msg_alloc() fails
sk_stream_wait_memory()
releases the socket lock acquires the socket lock
completes the cork
psock->cork = NULL
frees the cork
reacquires the socket lock
msg_tx != psock->cork
sk_msg_free(msg_tx)
The stale cork is therefore mistaken for the local temporary message
and freed again. KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sk_msg_free+0x49/0x50

msg_tx can only name the stack-local tmp or the shared cork. Check for
tmp directly so a changed psock->cork cannot turn a shared message into
an apparent local one.
