[NET]: Fix bug in sk_filter race cures.

Looks like this might be causing problems, at least for me on ppc. This
happened during a normal boot, right around first interface config/dhcp
run..

I.e. null pointer deref at sk_filter_delayed_uncharge+0x1c:

That's the deref of fp:

static void sk_filter_delayed_uncharge(struct sock *sk, struct sk_filter *fp)
{
        unsigned int size = sk_filter_len(fp);
...

That is called from sk_attach_filter():

...
        rcu_read_lock_bh();
        old_fp = rcu_dereference(sk->sk_filter);
        rcu_assign_pointer(sk->sk_filter, fp);
        rcu_read_unlock_bh();

        sk_filter_delayed_uncharge(sk, old_fp);
        return 0;
...

So, looks like rcu_dereference() returned NULL. I don't know the
filter code at all, but it seems like it might be a valid case?
sk_detach_filter() seems to handle a NULL sk_filter, at least.

So, this needs review by someone who knows the filter, but it fixes the
problem for me:
