I am having trouble with this code. With CONFIG_NET_NS enabled, it crashes
for me in read_pnet() because sk is NULL.

The old code seems to suggest that sk == NULL was possible.

I see the problem with the Chrome OS kernel rebased to v4.19-rc5, so I
can not guarantee that this really an upstream problem. The change seems
odd, though. Are you sure that it is not (or, rather, no longer) necessary
to check if sk == NULL before dereferencing it in sock_net() ?

Same here.
