CVE-2026-98646: tcp: Skip cond_resched() in inet_csk_listen_stop() under BPF context
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Skip cond_resched() in inet_csk_listen_stop() under BPF context
bpf_sock_destroy() runs from the tcp iterator, under rcu_read_lock(). If
the sock is a listener that still has children in its accept queue,
tcp_abort() ends up in inet_csk_listen_stop() and the cond_resched()
there trips the debug check:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:1523

The commit that added the kfunc already guards lock_sock() in tcp_abort()
and udp_abort() with has_current_bpf_ctx(), but missed the listener path.
Do the same for the cond_resched(). The loop runs inside the iterator's
rcu_read_lock(), it must not reschedule or report a quiescent state there.
