In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, skmsg: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue

Fix NULL pointer data-races in sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue() which
syzbot reported [1].

Prior to this, commit 4cd12c6065df (“bpf, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()”) fixed one NULL pointer
similarly due to no protection of saved_data_ready. Here is another
different caller causing the same issue because of the same reason. So
we should protect it with sk_callback_lock read lock because the writer
side in the sk_psock_drop() uses “write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);”.

To avoid errors that could happen in future, I move those two pairs of
lock into the sk_psock_data_ready(), which is suggested by John Fastabend.
