Subject: [PATCH 2/4] net: don not detour through struct sock to find the poll waitqueue

For any open socket file descriptor sock->sk->sk_wq->wait will always
point to sock->wq->wait.  That means we can do the shorter dereference
and removal a NULL check and don't have to not worry about any RCU
protection.
