I agree. Accessing sk_shutdown with a pair of smp operations makes
sure that another cpu can see the consistency of both sk_shutdown and
sk_err in tcp_poll().

I wonder if it would affect those callers who have no interest in
pairing smp operations, like tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()? For those
callers, WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE() is enough to protect itself only.
