Ugh.  Looks like this may not work even if it makes the splat go away.
synchronize_net() doesn't seem to wait for the _bh() flavor of RCU, so
we need to add syncronize_rcu_bh() call before freeing the socket or do
a normal rcu_read_lock()/unlock() on the fast path.  Any RCU experts
want to comment? :)

FWIW geneve will need similar fix, I presume.
