Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 2/3] bpf, sockmap: avoid using sk_socket after free when reading

There are potential concurrency issues, as shown below.
'''
CPU0                               CPU1
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready:
  socket *sock = sk->sk_socket
  if (!sock) return
                                   close(fd):
                                     ...
                                     ops->release()
  if (!sock->ops) return
                                     sock->ops = NULL
                                     rcu_call(sock)
                                     free(sock)
  READ_ONCE(sock->ops)
  ^
  use 'sock' after free
'''

RCU is not applicable to Unix sockets read path, because the Unix socket
implementation itself assumes it's always in process context and heavily
uses mutex_lock, so, we can't call read_skb within rcu lock.

Incrementing the psock reference count would not help either, since
sock_map_close() does not wait for data_ready() to complete its execution.

While we don't utilize sk_socket here, implementing read_skb at the sock
layer instead of socket layer might be architecturally preferable ?
However, deferring this optimization as current fix adequately addresses
the immediate issue.
