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. Signed-off-by: Jakub Sitnicki <jakub@cloudflare.com> ---

+1 drop it. The normal rcu annotations/splats should catch anything here.
