Okay, but we've got a lot of other places above that where we assume
sock->sk_socket is valid, so the thinking here was that when we have a
real reason to handle that case, I'd fix all the other cases as well.

However, I shouldn't have done that in the middle of this patch anyway.

Sure.

I'll re-send with the rename and without the sock->sk_socket and then
follow up with a fix for the other cases in a later patch.
