net: Fix memory leak if TPROXY used with TCP early demux

Browse source 
I see a memory leak when using a transparent HTTP proxy using TPROXY
together with TCP early demux and Kernel v3.8.13.15 (Ubuntu stable):

unreferenced object 0xffff88008cba4a40 (size 1696):
  comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4294944115 (age 8907.520s)

But there are many more, resulting in the machine going OOM after some
days.

From looking at the TPROXY code, and with help from Florian, I see
that the memory leak is introduced in tcp_v4_early_demux():

  void tcp_v4_early_demux(struct sk_buff *skb)
  {
    /* ... */

    iph = ip_hdr(skb);
    th = tcp_hdr(skb);

    if (th->doff < sizeof(struct tcphdr) / 4)
        return;

    sk = __inet_lookup_established(dev_net(skb->dev), &tcp_hashinfo,
                       iph->saddr, th->source,
                       iph->daddr, ntohs(th->dest),
                       skb->skb_iif);
    if (sk) {
        skb->sk = sk;

where the socket is assigned unconditionally to skb->sk, also bumping
the refcnt on it.  This is problematic, because in our case the skb
has already a socket assigned in the TPROXY target.  This then results
in the leak I see.

The very same issue seems to be with IPv6, but haven't tested.
