net/tls: Fix race in TLS device down flow
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Socket destruction flow and tls_device_down function sync against each
other using tls_device_lock and the context refcount, to guarantee the
device resources are freed via tls_dev_del() by the end of
tls_device_down.

In the following unfortunate flow, this won't happen:
- refcount is decreased to zero in tls_device_sk_destruct.
- tls_device_down starts, skips the context as refcount is zero, going
  all the way until it flushes the gc work, and returns without freeing
  the device resources.
- only then, tls_device_queue_ctx_destruction is called, queues the gc
  work and frees the context's device resources.

Solve it by decreasing the refcount in the socket's destruction flow
under the tls_device_lock, for perfect synchronization.  This does not
slow down the common likely destructor flow, in which both the refcount
is decreased and the spinlock is acquired, anyway.
