[PATCH 6.1.y] rxrpc: serialize kernel accept preallocation with socket teardown

[ Upstream commit dc175389b18c29a5303ee83169ec653adfae3e17 ]

rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() reads rx->backlog without any
socket/backlog synchronization and passes that raw pointer into
rxrpc_service_prealloc_one(). A concurrent rxrpc_discard_prealloc()
sets rx->backlog = NULL and frees the backlog rings, so a kernel
preallocation worker can keep using a freed struct rxrpc_backlog
while updating *_backlog_head/tail and array slots.

Serialize the state check and backlog lookup with the socket lock,
and reject kernel preallocation once teardown has disabled
listening or discarded the service backlog.

Fixes: 00e907127e6f ("rxrpc: Preallocate peers, conns and calls for incoming service requests")
