This has 2 required follow-up:

commit dfec091439bb2acf763497cfc58f2bdfc67c56b7
Author: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Feb 15 16:59:49 2018 +0100

    dn_getsockoptdecnet: move nf_{get/set}sockopt outside sock lock

and:

commit 01ea306f2ac2baff98d472da719193e738759d93
Author: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

    netfilter: drop outermost socket lock in getsockopt()

I suggest to pull these 3 patches together. My bad: I was unable to
provide a complete fix in a single shot.

Thanks,

Paolo
