I enabled lockdep and did not see warnings of lockdep.

Also, the inversion deadlock does not happen in this case.
In reuseport_detach_sock(), sk is moved backward in socks[] and poped out
from the eBPF map, so the old listener will not be selected as the new
listener.

I will squash the two or reorganize them into definition part and migration
part.

I understand this series is against the design.
But once the requests sockets are added in the queue, they are accessed
from the accept queue, and then we have the correct listener and can
rewirte rsk_listener. Otherwise, their full socket are accessed instead.

Also, as far as I know, such BUG_ON was only in inet_child_forget().
