Tooling that populates the SOCKMAP with sockets from user-space needs a way
to inspect its contents. Returning the struct sock * that SOCKMAP holds to
user-space is neither safe nor useful. An approach established by
REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY is to return a socket cookie (a unique identifier)
instead.

Since socket cookies are u64 values SOCKMAP needs to support such a value
size for lookup to be possible. This requires special handling on update,
though. Attempts to do a lookup on SOCKMAP holding u32 values will be met
with ENOSPC error.

It seems unnecessary.  It is only called by syscall.c which
holds the rcu_read_lock().  Other than that,
+1 drop it. The normal rcu annotations/splats should catch anything here.
