hmm... most of the bpf prog also does not require a locked sock.  For
example, the __sk_buff->sk.  If a bpf prog needs a locked view of sk,
a more generic solution is desired.  Anyhow, I guess the train has sort
of sailed for sockopt bpf.

Is it a debug kernel?

I think it meant s/optlen/optname/ which is not __user.
Yeah, I think that can provide a more generic solution
and also abstract things away.
Please add a details comment in this function.

or call that in BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_GETSOCKOPT().  then the
changes in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt() in this
patch should go away?
