On second thought, I don't quite understand the problem you are trying
to solve.  security_sk_free() is only called just prior to freeing the
sock by sk_prot_alloc() or sk_prot_free().  So if sk_security is NULL
in sock_has_perm(), then the sock is itself about to be or already
freed, and it isn't the sk_security that we ought to be worried about -
it is the sock itself that we shouldn't be using.  Or am I missing
something?

If we can't safely dereference the sock in these hooks, then that seems
to point back to the approach used in my original code, where in
ancient history I had sock_has_perm() take the socket and use its inode
i_security field instead of the sock.  commit
253bfae6e0ad97554799affa0266052968a45808 switched them to use the sock
instead.
