smb: client: Fix netns refcount imbalance causing leaks and use-after-free
Commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client: Fix use-after-free of network
namespace.") attempted to fix a netns use-after-free issue by manually
adjusting reference counts via sk->sk_net_refcnt and sock_inuse_add().
However, a later commit e9f2517a3e18 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock
after rmmod") pointed out that the approach of manually setting
sk->sk_net_refcnt in the first commit was technically incorrect, as
sk->sk_net_refcnt should only be set for user sockets. It led to issues
like TCP timers not being cleared properly on close. The second commit
moved to a model of just holding an extra netns reference for
server->ssocket using get_net(), and dropping it when the server is torn
down.
But there remain some gaps in the get_net()/put_net() balancing added by
these commits. The incomplete reference handling in these fixes results
in two issues:
1. Netns refcount leaks[1]
The problem process is as follows:
```
mount.cifs cifsd
cifs_do_mount
cifs_mount
cifs_mount_get_session
cifs_get_tcp_session
get_net() /* First get net. */
ip_connect
generic_ip_connect /* Try port 445 */
get_net()
->connect() /* Failed */
put_net()
generic_ip_connect /* Try port 139 */
get_net() /* Missing matching put_net() for this get_net().*/
cifs_get_smb_ses
cifs_negotiate_protocol
smb2_negotiate
