Sabrina Dubroca 0984ebc631 strparser: make sure __strp_recv isn't running before tearing down the parser
The comment above strp_done() claims that if strp is stopped,
strp_recv will no longer be called. That's only true if the caller has
a mechanism (eg locking) to guarantee that strp_recv() calls that
started before strp_stop() have completed by the time we call
strp_done().

This adds a dummy lock_sock/release_sock pair to guarantee that any
in-flight strp_recv() (which runs under either bh_lock_sock or
lock_sock, depending if it's called from ->sk_data_ready or strp_work)
has completed.

Only espintcp can be affected by this race condition, but this patch
makes sure no future user of strp can have the bug.

This could crash on strp->sk ("general mode" of strp), but this mode
has been here for 9 years and has never been used. It'll be gone soon,
no point worrying about it.

Switch the stopped/paused/etc bits to u8's to avoid races between
strp_stop() and strp_pause/unpause().

A reproducer has been published and turns the possible UAF into an
exploit [1].
