Hey, why not use sk->refcnt by means of sock_hold/sock_put? Current sources
even do that implicitely when you do a sk_add_node (sock_hold) and a
sk_del_node{_init} (sock_put)... Now it is just a matter of doing a sock_hold
when searching in some list and then dropping the refcnt when done using the
sock returned by the search function.
