net: rename sk_clone to sk_clone_lock
Make clear that sk_clone() and inet_csk_clone() return a locked socket. Add _lock() prefix and kerneldoc. Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
