Applied, and I'm going to add the following bug check to the tree too.

====================
[PATCH] net: Trap attempts to call sock_kfree_s() with a NULL pointer.

Unlike normal kfree() it is never right to call sock_kfree_s() with
a NULL pointer, because sock_kfree_s() also has the side effect of
discharging the memory from the sockets quota.
