AFAICS so far this would be enough:

1. remove the BUG_ON() in skb_orphan, letting it clear skb->sk instead
2. in nf_queue_entry_get_refs(), if skb->sk and no destructor:
   call nf_tproxy_assign_sock() so a reference gets taken.
3. change skb_steal_sock:
   static inline struct sock *skb_steal_sock(struct sk_buff *skb, bool *refcounted)
    [..]
    *refcounted = skb->destructor != NULL;
4. make tproxy sk assign elide the destructor assigment in case of
   a listening sk.

This should work because TPROXY target is restricted to PRE_ROUTING, and
__netif_receive_skb_core runs with rcu readlock already held.

On a side note, it would also be interesting to see what breaks if the
nf_tproxy_sk_is_transparent() check in the tprox eval function is
removed -- if we need the transparent:1 marker only for output, i think
it would be ok to raise the bit transparently in the kernel in case
we assign skb->sk = found_sk; i.e.
 if (unlikely(!sk_is_transparent(sk))
	 make_sk_transparent(sk);

I don't see a reason why we need the explicit setsockopt(IP_TRANSPARENT)
from userspace.
