I think this check will catch a lot of cases that are not necessarily
sharing a socket across tasks though. For example iscsid passes a file
descriptor to the kernel which does a sockfd_lookup() incrementing
f_count. Similarly look at dup/clone/etc.

In many of these cases I believe it should be OK to move the task
around when the sockets are not shared between multiple tasks.
