net: fix possible race in skb_attempt_defer_free()
A cpu can observe sd->defer_count reaching 128,
and call smp_call_function_single_async()
Problem is that the remote CPU can clear sd->defer_count
before the IPI is run/acknowledged.
Other cpus can queue more packets and also decide
to call smp_call_function_single_async() while the pending
IPI was not yet delivered.
This is a common issue with smp_call_function_single_async().
Callers must ensure correct synchronization and serialization.
I triggered this issue while experimenting smaller threshold.
Performing the call to smp_call_function_single_async()
under sd->defer_lock protection did not solve the problem.
Commit 5a18ceca6350 ("smp: Allow smp_call_function_single_async()
to insert locked csd") replaced an informative WARN_ON_ONCE()
with a return of -EBUSY, which is often ignored.
Test of CSD_FLAG_LOCK presence is racy anyway.
Fixes: 68822bdf76f1 ("net: generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists")
