ping: Fix race in free in receive path
[ Upstream commit fc752f1f43c1c038a2c6ae58cc739ebb5953ccb0 ]
An exception is seen in ICMP ping receive path where the skb
destructor sock_rfree() tries to access a freed socket. This happens
because ping_rcv() releases socket reference with sock_put() and this
internally frees up the socket. Later icmp_rcv() will try to free the
skb and as part of this, skb destructor is called and which leads
to a kernel panic as the socket is freed already in ping_rcv().

Fix this incorrect free by cloning this skb and processing this cloned
skb instead.
