Not enough.

If we have many cpus here, there is a chance another cpu has inserted a request socket, then
replaced it by an ESTABLISH socket for the same 4-tuple.

We need to take the per bucket spinlock much sooner.

And this is fine, all what matters is that we do no longer grab the listener spinlock.
