This looks good be there are other places using sk->sk_family that should also be fixed.Thanks for checking this! For selinux this should be enough, I haven't found any other places where sk->sk_family could be read from an IPv6 socket without locking. I also would like to prepare such fix for other LSMs (apparmor, smack, tomoyo) (in separate patches).
I'm wondering about the implications for SELinux beyond just sk->sk_family access, e.g. SELinux maps the (family, type, protocol) triple to a security class at socket creation time via socket_type_to_security_class() and caches the security class in the inode_security_struct and sk_security_struct for later use.

selinux_socket_bind() is called without holding the socket lock. Use READ_ONCE() to safely read sk->sk_family for IPv6 socket in case of lockless transformation to IPv4 socket via IPV6_ADDRFORM [1].
