- bpf, sockmap: Reject unhashed UDP sockets on sockmap update UDP sockets get SOCK_RCU_FREE set when
(auto-)bound. This means sk_is_refcounted(unbound) = true, while sk_is_refcounted(bound) = false. Because
sockmap accepts unbound UDP sockets, a BPF program can increment a socket's refcount via lookup. If the
socket is subsequently bound, the transition from unbound to bound causes bpf_sk_release() to skip the
decrement of the refcount, causing a memory leak. unreferenced object 0xffff88810bc2eb40 (size 1984): comm

sockets, reject unhashed UDP sockets during sockmap updates, as there is no benefit to supporting those.
This effectively reverts the commit under Fixes, with two exceptions: 1. sock_map_sk_state_allowed()
maintains a fall-through `return true`. 2. In the spirit of commit b8b8315e39ff (bpf, sockmap: Remove
unhash handler for BPF sockmap usage), the proto::unhash BPF handler is not reintroduced. Historical
note: this issue is related to commit 67312adc96b5 (bpf: reject unhashed sockets in bpf_sk_assign).
