pn_socket_autobind() calls pn_socket_bind() and treats
-EINVAL as a signal that the socket was already bound,
then uses BUG_ON() to verify it:

    if (err != -EINVAL)
        return err;
    BUG_ON(!pn_port(pn_sk(sock->sk)->sobject));

However, pn_socket_bind() returns -EINVAL in multiple
cases:

  1. address length too short
  2. socket not in TCP_CLOSE state
  3. socket already bound  <- only intended case

When -EINVAL comes from cases 1 or 2, sobject is still
zero (never assigned), causing BUG_ON to fire and crash
the kernel.

Fix this by checking the bound state directly via
pn_port(sobject) BEFORE calling pn_socket_bind(),
eliminating the ambiguous -EINVAL interpretation
entirely.
