Sami Farin reported crashes in xt_LOG because it assumes skb->sk is a
full blown socket.

But with TCP early demux, we can have skb->sk pointing to a timewait
socket.

Same fix is needed in netfnetlink_log
with ip_early_demux=0 and without these patches I did not get panics for
7 days, and with the patches and ip_early_demux=1 it has worked OK for 5 days,
thanks.
