In the function fanout_add add spin_lock to protect po-> running and po-> fanout, 
then whether it should be in the function fanout_release also add spin_lock protection ?

static struct packet_fanout *fanout_release(struct sock *sk)
....
        mutex_lock(&fanout_mutex);
        f = po->fanout;
        if (f) {
                po->fanout = NULL;
