Is there any chance that a concurrent unmount releases the
last refcount by put_net() while another thread trying to call
__sock_create() ?

CIFS was the case.

Could you go without adding a helper and do the conversion in sunrpc
code as CIFS did ?

I plan to resurrect my patch and remove such socket conversion altogether
in the next cycle after the CIFS fix lands on net-next.

https://github.com/q2ven/linux/commit/2e54a8cc84f1e9ce60a0e4693c79a8e74c3dbeb9

I inspected all the callers of __sock_create() and friends, and all
__sock_create() can be replaced with sock_create_kern(), so I will
unexport __sock_create() and then add a new parameter hold_net to it.

Then, I'll rename sock_create_kern() to sock_create_net_noref() and add
a fat comment to catch in-kernel users attention so that they no longer
use _kern() API blindly without care about netns reference.  Also, I'll
add sock_create_net() and use it for MPTCP, SMC, CIFS, (and sunrpc) etc.

RDS uses maybe_net_get() but I think this is still buggy and I need
to check more.
