Sorry I forgot about BPF. I think BPF can select established one,

reuseport_has_conns() is for reuseport group mixed with TCP_CLOSE and
TCP_ESTABLISHED, and here sk is usually (I mean without BPF) TCP_CLOSE
so that we don't decide too early and can check TCP_ESTABLISHED socket
placed later in the same hash chain.
Also, reuseport_select_sock_by_hash() returns NULL If the reuseport group
has only TCP_ESTABLISHED sockets when selecting, and then we continue with
result = sk;

The 2nd compute_score() is added recently for a situation where
inet_lookup_reuseport() returns sk with higher score to avoid
calling inet_lookup_reuseport() again for the result.
