This also looks a bit unsafe to me:

My proposal would be to sock_hold/sock_put the sockets when pushing them
onto the auto_asconf_list and defer the modifications on the list until
we don't need to hold socket lock anymore (in syscalls we do have a reference
anyway).

addr_wq_lock then is only used either without lock_sock at all or only
in order addr_wq_lock -> lock_sock, which does not cause any locking
ordering issues.

Bye,
Hannes
