Subject: Returning negative values repeatedly from a SOCK_FILTER ebpf prog stalls kernel thread

Problem is title. Attached is files for repro. Working on v6.10-rc4. 

After doing some investigation, the `sk_wmem_alloc` member of `struct sk` seems to only be increasing, presumably missing some refcnt_dec somewhere.

At a certain point, in `sock_alloc_send_pskb`, we fail the check:

`
if (sk_wmem_alloc_get(sk) < READ_ONCE(sk->sk_sndbuf))
`

Upon which we enter `sock_wait_for_wmem` and schedule a massive timeout (at least that's what happened in my tests)

Please let me know if I need to add anything.

Thanks
Not sure where the missing refcnt subs are, must admit unfamiliarity with the network code.
