And actually this will lead to data corruption, since different process
can enter and change socket values under us. Without temporal lock drop
we can deadlock (first process locked socket and then waiting for
i_mutex, while another one grabbed i_mutex and waiting for socket lock
in sendfile()).

Please try attached patch on top of vanilla tree.
It does not use skb after socket was dropped, but instead search it
again when socket is locked, so if socket is alive, it will find it and
clean otherwise it will exit.
