Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 9/9] Revert "net: do not leave a dangling sk pointer, when socket creation fails"

This reverts commit 6cd4a78d962bebbaf8beb7d2ead3f34120e3f7b2.

inet/inet6->create() implementations have been fixed to explicitly NULL the
allocated sk object on error.

A warning was put in place to make sure any future changes will not leave
a dangling pointer in pf->create() implementations.

So this code is now redundant.
