OK clearly I screwed it up thanks for reviewing Al. How about this.

                fdt = files_fdtable(files);
                for (fd = 0; fd < fdt->max_fds; fd++) {
                        struct socket *sock;
                        int err = 0;

                        sock = sockfd_lookup(fd, &err);
                        if (!sock) {
                                lock_sock(sock->sk);
                                sock_update_netprioidx(sock->sk, p);
                                release_sock(sock->sk);
                                sockfd_put(sock);
                        }
                }

sockfd_lookup will call fget() and also test file->f_op. testing this
now.
