Currently the assignment of pointer net from the sock_net(sk) call
is potentially dereferencing a null pointer sk. sk points to the
same location as pointer msk and msk is being null checked after
the sock_net call.  Fix this by calling sock_net after the null
check on pointer msk.

Hi Colin and Jakub -

I noticed that the follow-up discussion on this patch didn't go to the netdev list, so patchwork did not get updated.

This patch is superseded by the following, which already has a Reviewed-by tag from Matthieu:

Thanks!
