sock_priv_destroy works with genl_sk_priv_get().

But, I have to manually modify the generated netlink header file to satisfy CFI.

-void binder_nl_sock_priv_init(struct my_struct *priv);
-void binder_nl_sock_priv_destroy(struct my_struct *priv);
+void binder_nl_sock_priv_init(void *priv);
+void binder_nl_sock_priv_destroy(void *priv);

The reason is that these 2 callback functions are defined in
include/net/genetlink.h as below
void (*sock_priv_init)(void *priv);
void (*sock_priv_destroy)(void *priv);

Otherwise, kernel panic when CFI is enabled.

CFI failure at genl_sk_priv_get+0x60/0x138 (target:
binder_nl_sock_priv_init+0x0/0x34; expected type: 0x0ef81b7d)

Jakub, we probably need this patch. Please let me know if you have a
better idea. Thanks!
