Summary
kcm: annotate data-races around kcm->rx_psock
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kcm: annotate data-races around kcm->rx_psock

kcm->rxpsock can be read locklessly in kcmrfree(). Annotate the read and writes accordingly.

We do the same for kcm->rx_wait in the following patch.
