Perhaps simpler is to apply this change to bpf-next:

"
                        badness = score;
-                       result = sk;
+                       if (!result)
+                               result = sk;
"

After which the remaining conflict between bpf-next and net is

"
++<<<<<<< HEAD
 +                      result = lookup_reuseport(net, sk, skb,
 +                                                saddr, sport, daddr, hnum);
 +                      if (result && !reuseport_has_conns(sk, false))
 +                              return result;
 +
 +                      badness = score;

+                                                  saddr, sport);
+                               reuseport_result =
reuseport_select_sock(sk, hash, skb,
+
  sizeof(struct udphdr));
+                               if (reuseport_result &&
!reuseport_has_conns(sk, false))
+                                       return reuseport_result;
+                       }
+
+                       result = reuseport_result ? : sk;
+                       badness = score;
++>>>>>>> netdev-net/master
"

And we can just take bpf-next HEAD. Either that or handle the
corresponding change in the merge fix-up itself.

(note that bpf-next is one patch ahead of netdev-nn)
