inet_evict_bucket() iterates global list, and several tasks may call it in parallel. All of them hash the same fq->list_evictor to different lists, which leads to list corruption. This patch makes fq be hashed to expired list only if this has not been made yet by another task. Since inet_frag_alloc() allocates fq using kmem_cache_zalloc(), we may rely on list_evictor is initially unhashed. The problem seems to exist before async pernet_operations, as there was possible to have exit method to be executed in parallel with inet_frags::frags_work, so I add two Fixes tags. This also may go to stable.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
