BUG/MINOR: quic: fix decrement of half_open counter on qc alloc failure
Half open counter is used to comptabilize QUIC connections waiting for
address validation. It was recently reworked to adjust its scope. With
each decrement operation, a BUG_ON() was added to ensure the counter
never wraps.
This BUG_ON() could be triggered if an allocation fails for one of
quic_conn members in qc_new_conn(). This is because half open counter is
incremented at the end of qc_new_conn(). However, in case of alloc
failure, quic_conn_release() is called immediately to ensure the counter
is decremented if a connection is freed before peer address has been
validated.
To fix this, increment half open counter early in qc_new_conn() prior to
every quic_conn members allocations.
This issue was reproduced using -dMfail argument.
