csock, and this csk, is obtained from an arbitrary one of the
process's FDs.  It can be any socket type or family, and that socket's
family might set sk_user_data without the callback lock.

The only socket type check is making sure it is not another PF_KCM
socket.  So that doesn't help with this problem.
