I have checked this again. There are no functions that expect explicitly
req->rsk_listener never change except for BUG_ON in inet_child_forget().
No BUG_ON/WARN_ON does not mean they does not assume listener never
change, but such functions still work properly if rsk_listener is changed.

Is it fine to move sock_hold() before assigning rsk_listener and defer
sock_put() to the end of tcp_v[46]_rcv() ?

Also, we have to rewrite rsk_listener first and then call sock_put() in
reqsk_timer_handler() so that rsk_listener always has refcount more than 1.

---8<---
	struct sock *nsk, *osk;
	bool migrated = false;
	...
	sock_hold(req->rsk_listener);  // (i)
	sk = req->rsk_listener;
	...
	if (sk->sk_state == TCP_CLOSE) {
		osk = sk;
		// do migration without sock_put()
		sock_hold(nsk);  // (ii) (as with (i))
		sk = nsk;
		migrated = true;
	}
	...
	if (migrated) {
		sock_put(sk);  // pair with (ii)
		sock_put(osk); // decrement old listener's refcount
		sk = osk;
	}
	sock_put(sk);  // pair with (i)

Thank you, I will use cmpxchg() to rewrite rsk_listener atomically and
check if req->rsk_listener is updated.
