There is already this check in reuseport_array_update_check()

	/*
	 * sk must be hashed (i.e. listening in the TCP case or binded
	 * in the UDP case) and
	 * it must also be a SO_REUSEPORT sk (i.e. reuse cannot be NULL).
	 *
	 * Also, sk will be used in bpf helper that is protected by
	 * rcu_read_lock().
	 */
	if (!sock_flag(nsk, SOCK_RCU_FREE) || !sk_hashed(nsk) || !nsk_reuse)
		return -EINVAL;

So I believe it should not cause any problems with existing users. Perhaps
we could consolidate the checks a bit or move it into the update paths if we
wanted. I assume Jakub was just ensuring we don't get here with SOCK_RCU_FREE
set from any of the new paths now. I'll let him answer though.

More eyes the better.

Agreed would be good to give 7/8 a look I'm not too familiar with the
selftests there.
