raw_sk is static so you can't use in another file where you include
include/net/icmp.h. There is no collision. Also, since it's inline
you won't even see it in a symbol table.
Hm, it's more than 10 years that I've tested ctags(1) and etags(1)
with several identical static names in different files and I don't
remember my results. Do these tools have a problem with multiple
defs? I think they shouldn't since C is explicitly designed for that.

Ah, yes. We should remove it.

When ro->ifindex != 0, the call to dev_get_by_index() shouldn't fail.
We also use lock_sock() here and in NETDEV_UNREGISTER, so there should
be no problem.
