I like your version because it documents what the lock protecting this
field is.

In fact should we also add && sock_owned_by_user(). Martin, WDYT? Would
that work for reuseport? Jakub S is fixing l2tp to hold the socket lock
while setting this field, yet most places take the callback lock...

One the naming - maybe just drop the _with_flags() ? There's no version
of locked helper which does not take the flags. And not underscores?
