smb: client: fix netns refcount leak after net_passive changes
[ Upstream commit 59b33fab4ca4d7dacc03367082777627e05d0323 ]
After commit 5c70eb5c593d ("net: better track kernel sockets lifetime"),
kernel sockets now use net_passive reference counting. However, commit
95d2b9f693ff ("Revert "smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod"")
restored the manual socket refcount manipulation without adapting to this
new mechanism, causing a memory leak.
The issue can be reproduced by[1]:
1. Creating a network namespace
2. Mounting and Unmounting CIFS within the namespace
3. Deleting the namespace
Some memory leaks may appear after a period of time following step 3.

Root cause:
When creating kernel sockets, sk_alloc() calls net_passive_inc() for
sockets with sk_net_refcnt=0. The CIFS code manually converts kernel
sockets to user sockets by setting sk_net_refcnt=1, but doesn't call
the corresponding net_passive_dec(). This creates an imbalance in the
net_passive counter, which prevents the network namespace from being
destroyed when its last user reference is dropped. As a result, the
entire namespace and all its associated resources remain allocated.
Timeline of patches leading to this issue:
- commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client: Fix use-after-free of network
namespace.") in v6.12 fixed the original netns UAF by manually
managing socket refcounts
- commit e9f2517a3e18 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after
rmmod") in v6.13 attempted to use kernel sockets but introduced
TCP timer issues
- commit 5c70eb5c593d ("net: better track kernel sockets lifetime")
in v6.14-rc5 introduced the net_passive mechanism with
sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() for proper socket conversion
- commit 95d2b9f693ff ("Revert "smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock
after rmmod"") in v6.15-rc3 reverted to manual refcount management
without adapting to the new net_passive changes
Fix this by using sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() which properly handles the
net_passive counter when converting kernel sockets to user sockets.
