It needs to take a closer look at where the lock_sock() has already
been acquired and also need to consider the lock ordering with reuseport_lock.
It probably should work but may need a separate patch to discuss those
considerations ?

I am also good with a shorter name.

Could a comment be added to bpf_sk_reuseport_detach() mentioning
sk_user_data access is protected by the sk_callback_lock alone (or the lock
sock in the future) while reusing __locked_read_sk_user_data() with
a rcu_dereference(). It will be easier to understand if there is
actually any rcu reader in the future code reading.
