Yeah, if that moves into the sock_net_uid() helper, then you could
remove the sk && sk_fullsock(sk) ? sk : NULL tests from the current
sock_net_uid() call sites such as in tcp code. Maybe then also make
the sock_net_uid() as __always_inline, so that most of the callers
with sock_net_uid(net, NULL) are guaranteed to optimize away their
sk checks at compile time?
