Subject: [PATCH] net: socket: add missing declaration for update_socket_protocol

When building with C=1, sparse reports the following warning:

net/socket.c:1735:21: warning: symbol 'update_socket_protocol' was not declared. Should it be static?

The function update_socket_protocol() is defined as __weak, intended
to be overwritten by architecture-specific implementations. Therefore,
it cannot be static.

Add a declaration in include/net/sock.h to fix this sparse warning.
