    (net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
    took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.
    
    sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
    We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
    we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
    a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
    while not fully (re)initialized.
    
    This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning
    of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job.
    
    We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
    to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
    be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)
