I think this is a wrong fix. Something is definitely fishy here.

Update side should only happen for an established socket ?

And the read side should have locked the socket before calling
tcp_inbound_ao_hash(),
otherwise reading other fields (like tcp_sk(sk)->rcv_nxt) would be racy anyway.

tcp_snd_sne_update() definitely only deals with full sockets
