inet: frags: avoid theoretical race in ip_frag_reinit()
In ip_frag_reinit() we want to move the frag timeout timer into
the future. If the timer fires in the meantime we inadvertently
scheduled it again, and since the timer assumes a ref on frag_queue
we need to acquire one to balance things out.
This is technically racy, we should have acquired the reference
_before_ we touch the timer, it may fire again before we take the ref.
Avoid this entire dance by using mod_timer_pending() which only modifies
the timer if its pending (and which exists since Linux v2.6.30)
Note that this was the only place we ever took a ref on frag_queue
since Eric's conversion to RCU. So we could potentially replace
the whole refcnt field with an atomic flag and a bit more RCU.
