xt_qtaguid: Fix panic caused by synack processing
In upstream commit ca6fb06518836ef9b65dc0aac02ff97704d52a05 (tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listener) http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ca6fb0651883 The building of synack messages was changed, which made it so the skb->sk points to a casted request_sock. This is problematic, as there is no sk_socket in a request_sock. So when the qtaguid_mt function tries to access the sk->sk_socket, it accesses uninitialized memory. After looking at how other netfilter implementations handle this, I realized there was a skb_to_full_sk() helper added, which the xt_qtaguid code isn't yet using. This patch adds its use, and resovles panics seen when accessing uninitialzed memory when processing synack packets.
