Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"I was battling a cold after some recent trips, so quite a bit piled up
meanwhile, sorry about that.
Highlights:
1) Fix fd leak in various bpf selftests, from Brian Vazquez.
2) Fix crash in xsk when device doesn't support some methods, from
Magnus Karlsson.
3) Fix various leaks and use-after-free in rxrpc, from David Howells.
4) Fix several SKB leaks due to confusion of who owns an SKB and who
should release it in the llc code. From Eric Biggers.
5) Kill a bunc of KCSAN warnings in TCP, from Eric Dumazet.
6) Jumbo packets don't work after resume on r8169, as the BIOS resets
the chip into non-jumbo mode during suspend. From Heiner Kallweit.
7) Corrupt L2 header during MPLS push, from Davide Caratti.
8) Prevent possible infinite loop in tc_ctl_action, from Eric
Dumazet.
9) Get register bits right in bcmgenet driver, based upon chip
version. From Florian Fainelli.
10) Fix mutex problems in microchip DSA driver, from Marek Vasut.
11) Cure race between route lookup and invalidation in ipv4, from Wei
Wang.
12) Fix performance regression due to false sharing in 'net'
structure, from Eric Dumazet"
