5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 9df99c395d0f55fb444ef39f4d6f194ca437d884 ]
sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk pointer to the provided sock object. If inet6_create() fails later, the sk object is released, but the sock object retains the dangling sk pointer, which may cause use-after-free later.
Clear the sock sk pointer on error.
