Right you are, it should have been under check for
: if (bound_dev_if != cmd.ifindex)

Currently it's warning for all sockets (which can be re-bound), but for
sockets in the connected state it doesn't make sense as the key lookup
is not expecting non peer-matching key post connect()/accept().

In this patch version the check will restrict adding a key on a
connected socket with VRF regardless if it's matching the bound VRF.
Will fix!

Thanks for spotting this,
