ksmbd: keep TCP timers alive for kernel sockets

Browse source

ksmbd creates its listening socket with sock_create_kern(). Kernel
sockets do not hold a network namespace reference by default. Accepted
sockets inherit this state.

When an accepted socket is released, tcp_close() clears its pending TCP
timers for a kernel socket after the socket enters an orphaned state. If
the peer is unreachable while ksmbd sends a FIN, this can leave a
FIN-WAIT-1 orphan without a retransmission timer.

Upgrade the listening socket's network namespace reference before
kernel_listen(). Accepted sockets inherit the reference, so the TCP
stack can keep the retransmission timer active and apply its normal
orphan retry policy.

Preserve the existing graceful shutdown behavior.
