It's currently possible to insert sockets in unexpected states into
a sockmap, due to a TOCTTOU when updating the map from a syscall.
sock_map_update_elem checks that sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED,
locks the socket and then calls sock_map_update_common. At this
point, the socket may have transitioned into another state, and
the earlier assumptions don't hold anymore. Crucially, it's
conceivable (though very unlikely) that a socket has become unhashed.
This breaks the sockmap's assumption that it will get a callback
via sk->sk_prot->unhash.

Fix this by checking the (fixed) sk_type and sk_protocol without the
lock, followed by a locked check of sk_state.

Unfortunately it's not possible to push the check down into
sock_(map|hash)_update_common, since BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
run before the socket has transitioned from TCP_SYN_RECV into
TCP_ESTABLISHED.

Applied, thanks!
