inet: frag: don't re-use chainlist for evictor
commit d1fe1944 upstream. commit 65ba1f1e ("inet: frags: fix a race between inet_evict_bucket and inet_frag_kill") describes the bug, but the fix doesn't work reliably. Problem is that ->flags member can be set on other cpu without chainlock being held by that task, i.e. the RMW-Cycle can clear INET_FRAG_EVICTED bit after we put the element on the evictor private list. We can crash when walking the 'private' evictor list since an element can be deleted from list underneath the evictor. Join work with Nikolay Alexandrov.
