sk->state_chage is not called for listening sockets

Hello:

Suppose for a moment, that I have an in-kernel daemon, listening
on a TCP socket, and that the said daemon is interested to
know when connection becomes established. To that end it
puts something into sk->state_change. However, when connection
is established, state_chenge is not called (in 2.4.3).

With that in mind, would the following chage have any ill effects?
It does not seem to break anything obvious, but I am worried about
a performance degradation for some retarded benchmark.
