The sk_psock facility populates the sk_user_data field with the
address of an extra bit of metadata. User space sockets never
populate the sk_user_data field, so this has worked out fine.

However, kernel consumers such as the RPC client and server do
populate the sk_user_data field. The sk_psock() function cannot tell
that the content of sk_user_data does not point to psock metadata,
so it will happily return a pointer to something else, cast to a
struct sk_psock.

Thus kernel consumers and psock currently cannot co-exist.

We could educate sk_psock() to return NULL if sk_user_data does
not point to a struct sk_psock. However, a more general solution
that enables full co-existence psock and other uses of sk_user_data
might be more interesting.

Move the struct sk_psock address to its own pointer field so that
the contents of the sk_user_data field is preserved.

In Patchwork website, this patch fails the checks on
netdev/cc_maintainers.

So maybe you need CC folks pointed out by
scripts/get_maintainer.pl script, which is suggested
by Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>.

What's more, Syskaller reports
refcount bug in sk_psock_get (2).

In this bug, the problem is that smc and psock, 
both use sk_user_data field to save their 
private data. So they will treat field in their own way.

> in smc_switch_to_fallback(), and set smc->clcsock->sk_user_data

> Later, sk_psock_get() will treat the smc->clcsock->sk_user_data
> as sk_psock type, which triggers the refcnt warning.

I have tested this patch and the reproducer did not trigger any issue.
