Subject: [PATCH] cleanup: no need to call rcu_lock in sock_update_classid()

There is no need to protect

According to the all-knowing git log, this was inserted here to prevent a
warning in commit 1144182a. But 3fb5a991 also does that in a different place.
>From reading it, I believe they are fixing the same warning, so no need
for both.
