While originally only being intended for outgoing traffic, commit a00e76349f35 ("netfilter: x_tables: allow to use cgroup match for LOCAL_IN nf hooks") enabled xt_cgroups for the NF_INET_LOCAL_IN hook as well, in order to allow for nfacct accounting. Besides being currently limited to early demuxes only, commit a00e76349f35 forgot to add a check if we deal with full sockets, i.e. in this case not with time wait sockets. TCP time wait sockets do not have the same memory layout as full sockets, a lower memory footprint and consequently also don't have a sk_classid member; probing for sk_classid member there could potentially lead to a crash.
