bpf_exec_tx_verdict() invokes sk_psock_get(), which returns a reference of the specified sk_psock object to "psock" with increased refcnt. When bpf_exec_tx_verdict() returns, local variable "psock" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of bpf_exec_tx_verdict(). When "policy" equals to NULL but "psock" is not NULL, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by sk_psock_get(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling sk_psock_put() on this error path before bpf_exec_tx_verdict() returns.
