Maybe we should instead remove "(!sk || !sk_fullsock(sk))" check from
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_skb? BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_INET_EGRESS makes
care of all those corner conditions. We just need to add those checks to
BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_INET_INGRESS.

Let me also CC Kui-Feng, he was touching this part recently in commit
223f5f79f2ce ("bpf, net: Check skb ownership against full socket.").
