Iterating a sk_storage map is a two-stage operation:
bpf_sk_storage_map_seq_find_next() returns a selem, then
__bpf_sk_storage_map_seq_show() uses it. The latter re-reads
selem->local_storage via rcu_dereference() without checking for NULL.
A concurrent socket close can unlink the selem and clear that pointer
between the two stages, causing a NULL dereference of sk_storage->owner.
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
address 0xdffffc0000000011
net/core/bpf_sk_storage.c:809 __bpf_sk_storage_map_seq_show()
bpf_seq_read+0x366/0x1120
vfs_read+0x174/0xa50
ksys_read+0xfc/0x1d0
Return SEQ_SKIP if the re-read yields NULL. This prevents the dereference
and tells bpf_seq_read() that the stale element was skipped, so it does
not consume an iterator sequence number without running the BPF program.
