If it is after a (successful) atomic_inc_not_zero(),
the object is guaranteed to be alive (not freed or about to be freed).

About readind/writing a specific field, all traditional locking rules apply.

For TCP socket, we would generally grab the socket lock before
reading/writing various fields.

ct->status seems to be manipulated with set_bit() and clear_bit()
which are SMP safe.
