When we passed fds, we used to bump each file's refcount twice
in scm_fp_copy() and scm_fp_dup() before linking the socket to
gc_inflight_list.
This is because we incremented the inflight count of the socket
and linked it to the list in advance before passing skb to the
destination socket.
Otherwise, the inflight socket could have been garbage-collected
in a small race window between linking the socket to the list and
queuing skb:
CPU 1 : sendmsg(X) w/ A's fd CPU 2 : close(A)
----- -----
/* Here A's refcount is 1, and inflight count is 0 */
bump A's refcount to 2 in scm_fp_copy()
bump A's inflight count to 1
link A to gc_inflight_list
decrement A's refcount to 1
/* A's refcount == inflight count, thus A could be GC candidate */
start GC
mark A as candidate
purge A's receive queue
queue skb w/ A's fd to X
/* A is queued, but all data has been lost */
