syzbot found that kcm_tx_work() could crash [1] in:

/* Primarily for SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets */
if (likely(sk->sk_socket) &&
test_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags)) {
<<*>> clear_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags);
sk->sk_write_space(sk);
}

I think the reason is that another thread might concurrently
run in kcm_release() and call sock_orphan(sk) while sk is not
locked. kcm_tx_work() find sk->sk_socket being NULL.

Does it make sense to add some lockdep annotations to sock_orphan()
and maybe some other similar functions to catch such cases earlier?

I thought about that, but this seems net-next material.
