net/packet: fix a race in packet_set_ring() and packet_notifier()



commit 01d3c8417b9c1b884a8a981a3b886da556512f36 upstream.

When packet_set_ring() releases po->bind_lock, another thread can
run packet_notifier() and process an NETDEV_UP event.

This race and the fix are both similar to that of commit 15fe076e
("net/packet: fix a race in packet_bind() and packet_notifier()").

There too the packet_notifier NETDEV_UP event managed to run while a
po->bind_lock critical section had to be temporarily released. And
the fix was similarly to temporarily set po->num to zero to keep
the socket unhooked until the lock is retaken.

The po->bind_lock in packet_set_ring and packet_notifier precede the
introduction of git history.
