Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()
syzbot reported a memory leak in nr_create() [0].
Commit 409db27e3a2e ("netrom: Fix use-after-free of a listening socket.")
added sock_hold() to the nr_heartbeat_expiry() function, where
a) a socket has a SOCK_DESTROY flag or
b) a listening socket has a SOCK_DEAD flag.
But in the case "a," when the SOCK_DESTROY flag is set, the file descriptor
has already been closed and the nr_release() function has been called.
So it makes no sense to hold the reference count because no one will
call another nr_destroy_socket() and put it as in the case "b."

&& sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)))
sock_hold() // ( !!! )
nr_destroy_socket()
To fix the memory leak, let's call sock_hold() only for a listening socket.
