UDP sockets get SOCK_RCU_FREE set when (auto-)bound. This means
sk_is_refcounted(unbound) = true, while sk_is_refcounted(bound) = false.

Because sockmap accepts unbound UDP sockets, a BPF program can increment a
socket's refcount via lookup. If the socket is subsequently bound, the
transition from unbound to bound causes bpf_sk_release() to skip the
decrement of the refcount, causing a memory leak.

Maintain balanced refcounts across sk lookup/release: (re-)set
SOCK_RCU_FREE on proto update to treat the socket (whether bound or
unbound) as not requiring a refcount increment on (a RCU protected) lookup.

Rejecting unhashed UDP sockets on insert to sockmap SGTM.
It is also in line with disable-problematic-cases strategy.
Agree ACK just disallow it.
