Fix a possible memory leak at xsk socket close that is caused by the
refcounting of the umem object being wrong. The reference count of the
umem was decremented only after the pool had been freed. Note that if
the buffer pool is destroyed, it is important that the umem is
destroyed after the pool, otherwise the umem would disappear while the
driver is still running. And as the buffer pool needs to be destroyed
in a work queue, the umem is also (if its refcount reaches zero)
destroyed after the buffer pool in that same work queue.
What was missing is that the refcount also needs to be decremented
when the pool is not freed and when the pool has not even been
created. The first case happens when the refcount of the pool is
higher than 1, i.e. it is still being used by some other socket using
the same device and queue id. In this case, it is safe to decrement
the refcount of the umem outside of the work queue as the umem will
never be freed because the refcount of the umem is always greater than
or equal to the refcount of the buffer pool. The second case is if the
buffer pool has not been created yet, i.e. the socket was closed
before it was bound but after the umem was created. In this case, it
is safe to destroy the umem outside of the work queue, since there is
no pool that can use it by definition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
