Subject: [PATCH -next] unix stream: Fix use-after-free crashes

From: "Yan, Zheng" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 04 Sep 2011 00:25:07 +0800

Commit 0856a30409 (Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references
in Unix socket's send and receive path) introduced a use-after-free bug.
It happens that if skb is consumed and destructed by the receive side
before unix_stream_sendmsg finishes its job.
