Summary
net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data reader finish before releasing the sock
Details

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

net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data reader finish before releasing the sock

There is a race condition in vxlan that when deleting a vxlan device during receiving packets, there is a possibility that the sock is released after getting vxlan_sock vs from sk_user_data. Then in later vxlan_ecn_decapsulate(), vxlan_get_sk_family() we will got NULL pointer dereference. e.g.

Fix this by waiting for all sk_user_data reader to finish before releasing the sock.
