Xiumei reports the following splat when netlabel and TCP socket are used:

The current implementation of cipso_v4_sock_setattr() replaces IP options
under the assumption that the caller holds the socket lock; however, such
assumption is not true, nor needed, in selinux_socket_post_create() hook.

Using rcu_dereference_check() instead of rcu_dereference_protected() will
avoid the reported splat for the netlbl_sock_setattr() case, and preserve
the legitimate check when the caller is netlbl_conn_setattr().
