It's unclear why an indirect call is needed here. At least some
explanation is needed in the commit message, possibly you could call
directly a static function.

+
+	skb_pull(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr));
+	skb_dst_force(skb);

+	return 0;
Why not:
	return quic_path_rcv(sk, skb, 0);
?

Why using a workqueue here? AFAICS all the caller are in process
context. Is that to break a possible deadlock due to nested mutex?
Likely a comment on the refcount/locking scheme would help.
