I guess the issue is that setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM is not an
atomic operation, so that the socket is neither fully ipv4 nor fully
ipv6 by the time it reaches ip_recv_error.

  sk->sk_socket->ops = &inet_dgram_ops;

  sk->sk_family = PF_INET;

Even calling inet_recv_error to demux would not necessarily help.

Safest would be to look up by skb->protocol, similar to what
ipv6_recv_error does to handle v4-mapped-v6.

Or to make that function safe with PF_INET and swap the order
of the above two operations.

All sound needlessly complicated for this rare socket option, but
I don't have a better idea yet. Dropping on the floor is not nice,
either.
