Subject: Unchecked sock pointer causes panic in RAW_TP

Hello,

We encountered a panic when tracing kfree_skb with RAW_TP. The problematic
argument was introduced in commit ba8de796baf4 ("net: introduce
sk_skb_reason_drop function"). It turns out that the verifier still accepted
the program despite it didn't test sk == NULL. And this caused kernel panic. I
attached a small reproducer and panic trace at the end. It's stably
reproducible when packets are dropped without a receiver (e.g. run iperf2 UDP
test toward localhost), in both 6.12.11 release and a recent bpf-next master
snapshot (I was using commit c03320a6768c).

As a contrast, for another tracepoint like tcp_send_reset, if sk is not checked
before dereferencing, the verifier will complain and reject the program as
expected. So this feels like some annotation is missing? Appreciate if someone
could help me figure out.

thanks
Yan
