Thanks for the report.

The sk_user_data is used when a sk is added to the bpf's reuseport_sockarray.
Before it can be added, the bpf side does check if the sk_user_data has already been
used or not.  It is the similar check like other usages on sk_user_data.

The missing part is the reuseport_detach_sock() should check if a
sk is currently in a reuseport_sockarray before calling bpf_sk_reuseport_detach().
It can be solved by remembering if a sk is added to the reuseport_sockarray.
I will work on a fix by doing this.
