Fix a race in the xsk socket teardown code that can lead to a null
pointer dereference splat. The current xsk unbind code in
xsk_unbind_dev() starts by setting xs->state to XSK_UNBOUND, sets
xs->dev to NULL and then waits for any NAPI processing to terminate
using synchronize_net(). After that, the release code starts to tear
down the socket state and free allocated memory.

There are two problems with the current code. First, setting xs->dev
to NULL before waiting for all users to stop using the socket is not
correct. The entry to the data plane functions xsk_poll(),
xsk_sendmsg(), and xsk_recvmsg() are all guarded by a test that
xs->state is in the state XSK_BOUND and if not, it returns right
away. But one process might have passed this test but still have not
gotten to the point in which it uses xs->dev in the code. In this
interim, a second process executing xsk_unbind_dev() might have set
xs->dev to NULL which will lead to a crash for the first process. The
solution here is just to get rid of this NULL assignment since it is
not used anymore. Before commit 42fddcc ("xsk: use state member
for socket synchronization"), xs->dev was the gatekeeper to admit
processes into the data plane functions, but it was replaced with the
state variable xs->state in the aforementioned commit.
The second problem is that synchronize_net() does not wait for any
process in xsk_poll(), xsk_sendmsg(), or xsk_recvmsg() to complete,
which means that the state they rely on might be cleaned up
prematurely. This can happen when the notifier gets called (at driver
unload for example) as it uses xsk_unbind_dev(). Solve this by
extending the RCU critical region from just the ndo_xsk_wakeup to the
whole functions mentioned above, so that both the test of xs->state ==
XSK_BOUND and the last use of any member of xs is covered by the RCU
critical section. This will guarantee that when synchronize_net()
completes, there will be no processes left executing xsk_poll(),
xsk_sendmsg(), or xsk_recvmsg() and state can be cleaned up
safely. Note that we need to drop the RCU lock for the SKB xmit path
as it uses functions that might sleep. Due to this, we have to retest
the xs->state after we grab the mutex that protects the SKB xmit code
from, among a number of things, an xsk_unbind_dev() being executed
from the notifier at the same time.
