How about creating a new lookup helper, bpf_sk"c"_lookup_tcp,
that does not call sk_to_full_sk() before returning.
Its ".ret_type" will be RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL which its
reference(-counting) state has to be tracked in the verifier also.
Mainly in check_helper_call(), iirc.

The bpf_prog can then check bpf_sock->state for TCP_LISTEN,
call bpf_tcp_sock() to get the TCP listener sock and pass to
the bpf_tcp_check_syncookie()

Please include this use case in the commit message.
It is useful.
